Duplicate of Measuring accuracy of latitude and longitude | |
| Dec 16, 2015 at 14:06 | comment | added | Sanny | No, that I am doing in the local coordinate system with sqrt(x1-x2)^2+(y1-y2)^2). I wanted to know how accurate the chart is, in combination with the convertion I am using. | |

| Dec 16, 2015 at 12:22 | comment | added | Sanny | @ radouxju: from that thread I got the basic idea about this. I just want to be sure that it will work with the type of convertion I am using. Additional: If a GPS System has a accuracy of 2 cm and you get measurements as in the example above, is it then accurate to say that those measurements are not in that accuracy, or do you need longitude as well for that? | |
| Dec 16, 2015 at 12:15 | comment | added | radouxju | you should also look for Vicenty and haversine on this site. Note that 5.5 cm is very small compared to the Earth, so the difference between the types of distance will not be very large. | |
