Dear Listers,
Today I was summoned to court to give evidence relating to property areas I calculated
on a non earth grid. I was only given an A1 plan which I scanned and digitised the
property boundary onto. They fortunately had a grid on the map and it was that which I
used for calculating areas.
The reason I was in court was to explain why my area calculations were different
(slightly higher 2.3%) than those of our opposition.
Am I correct in assuming the areas calculated by MapInfo are good to the decimal
places it gives? Your experience would be appreciated.
The opposition were using a planimeter (which from my recolections is not as accurate
as I assume Mapinfo to be.
cheers
Gabor Vasarhelyi
