Professional Liability for Coordinate Errors
Documented exposures from $25,000 to $10,000,000. Learn how geodetic mistakes lead to catastrophic project failures and legal negligence.
The $1M Accuracy Gap
In 2024, a major offshore infrastructure project faced a $1.2M rework cost due to a simple 3-parameter datum shift error. Free online converters often lack the geoid height corrections required for sub-decimeter precision. Are you betting your professional liability insurance on a web tool?

GPS Accuracy Alert
Your phone's GPS can be off by 30 meters. This can cause critical errors in your data.
