"Precision Map Image" products have even greater positional accuracy than "Map Image" products. Ground Control Points (GCPs) as well as a map projection are used to spatially align the image. To order a "Precision Map Image" product, ground control points from a map or provided through Global Positional Satellite (GPS) technology are required. To further enhance the positional accuracy of the image, Digital Elevation Models (DEMs) can be used to correct terrain distortions. A DEM at sufficient detail will be needed to provide ortho-correction services. 2, record 3, English, - %5C%22Precision%20Map%20Image%5C%22%20product
