All,
I am trying to find out what level of accuracy or precision can a
map on google retain. I have a requirement from client to be able to
create rectangular boundaries with the height and width of the boundry
are considered to be parallel to Longitudes and latitudes.
Now consider this. If we have a rectangular boundary that encompasses
a small area, i am sure the precision and acc will be maintained as
there will be minimal effect of the curvature of the earth's surface.
But, as and when the rectangular boundary is increased in size, I
believe the curvature of earth will come into effect and the accuracy/
precision may be in question.
My second assumption will be wrong in case google maps already has
taken care of the earths curvature by pseudo-flattening (does this
expression exist, lol) of earth, in which case the accuracy /
precision should not change.
Your insight on this is pretty important.
Thanks
Amit Dixit
