Difference between Plane and Geodetic Surveying
|
Plane Surveying
|
Geodetic Surveying
|
|
Curvature of the earth is not taken in to consideration
|
In this curvature of earth is considered.
|
|
In plane Surveying, line joining any two points of triangle formed by any three points is considered as straight line and plane triangle are assumed to be plane angles.
|
In geodetic surveying line joining two points of triangle formed by three points is considered as curved line of spherical triangle and angles of triangle are considered as spherical angles.

|
This survey is done on smaller area less than 250km2
|
This survey is done on large area greater than 250 km2
|
|
Required accuracy is competitively low.
|
High accuracy is required
|
|
Simple methods and instruments can be used as the required accuracy is low.
|
Very refined methods and instruments are used.
