How accurate does it need to be?

Time and time again I get asked "How accurate it the map?" Well it depends on what you mean by accurate. Like any industry there are tolerances, acceptable or not there are tolerances. Take a set of house plans for instance. The interior walls may be dimension as being 4 -5/8" thick(3- 5/8" stud and two sheets of 1/2" drywall). Now if we got the old micrometer and check an as-built wall we come up with something different. In architecture we allow a 1/16" or even as much as 1/4" tolerances and call it good. So what should we use as a tolerance range in maps?

So this is my Blog

Been wanting to start one of these for a while just never got around to it. So What's it going to be about, you ask? Well Map AutoCAD MAP software for one. Seems to be a lack of them to it out there now so why not? Maybe some personnal options about the world and the people living on it. But for now just this short posting. Check back later and see if I added anything of use or whatever.
