Testing the Accuracy of Topographic Maps at the Scale of 1:25000 published by the Military Geographical Institute, Belgrade

This paper presents the procedures and methods used in assessing the quality of topographic maps at a scale of 1:25000 (TK25), published by the Military Geographical Institute (VGI) from Belgrade, which refer to the first edition of this map. All measurements and test accuracy was performed by experts from VGI. s. Map as the final product was printed on the paper on which they made measurements, calculate the deviations and mean errors to assess the accuracy. Three components of the map are handled: geographical, mathematical and artistic, and examined the actual positional accuracy of the grid, basic and detailed points, and the vertical accuracy of elevation contour lines and elevations shown. In today. s digital era are defined elements in the quality of spatial data on the location, characteristics and the relations phenomena in space. Measuring the quality of spatial data following after definitions, in order to finally approached to their analysis and visualization.
