| precision |
The number of decimal places to which a value is given. This usually far exceeds its accuracy. For example, a GIS might give the coordinate of a point location for building to ten decimal places providing a value that is precise to fractions of a centimetre. In reality this value may only be accurate to the nearest ten meters.

If applied to paper maps or map databases, it means the accuracy of definition; (2) if applied to data collection devices such as digitisers, it is the exactness of the determined value; (3) the number of significant digits used to store numbers. 1 Note: precision is not the same as accuracy - a large number of significant digits doesn't necessarily indicate that the measurement is accurate.
