Spatial data quality
Horizontal positional accuracy
The absolute positions in this data set relative to datum are correct to within 5-10 metres in the rural portions of the province and to within 1-2 metres in the urban portions. The relative accuracies are better than 5 metres in the rural areas and 1 metre in the urban areas for points that are near each other. The relative accuracies decrease as the distance between points increases
Vertical positional accuracy
This product does not have a vertical component
