Geodetic Location

Geodetic location represents position using coordinates such as latitude and longitude, often with uncertainty or confidence information.

Geodetic location helps route and locate callers when coordinates are more reliable than address fields.

• Represents latitude/longitude and sometimes altitude or shape.
• Carries uncertainty so systems know how precise the position is.
• Can be compared against service boundaries for routing.

• PIDF-LO geodetic forms
• GIS
• Mobile location sources
• PSAP map display

• AML
• Mobile networks
• ECRF
• PSAP GIS
• eCall

• Coordinates plot on a road but caller is inside a building.
• Uncertainty is ignored by routing logic.
• Indoor altitude is unavailable.
• Coordinate datum assumptions mismatch.

• Display uncertainty visually.
• Combine with civic details where possible.
• Test border and multi-jurisdiction edges.
