The differences between accuracy and precision in a spatial context. The red spots show the true location, the black spots represent the locations as reported by a collector. Far left - High precision, low accuracy. Middle left -  Low precision, low accuracy showing random error. Middle right - Low precision, high accuracy. Far right - High precision and high accuracy.
