  1. Objectives of surveying:
    1. to understand the concepts and use of instruments
    2. to apply those particular methods in the field
    3. solving the problems in a optimal way
    4. in every type of measurement, to minimise the error

    surveying has originated as a branch of Geoinformatics = Geo (earth) + Info (data) + Matics(measurement)

    main objective of geoinformatics is to measure, manage and analysis of the data
    measurement includes what is where? and what is what?
    management includes storage, retrieval and presentation of data
    analysis includes calculation and error correction.
