INTRODUCTORY INSPECTOR ACADEMY · TOPIC 4 OF 10
4 — GPS and Site Identity
GPS basics
Phones estimate position with variable accuracy affected by buildings and device conditions. Record accuracy and a truthful address reference when available.
Multiple areas
One commercial property may have more than one distinct dumpster enclosure. Staff verify which physical area a photo represents.
Duplicates and follow-ups
Nearby observation points are reviewed for common site identity; repeat visits can be follow-ups without earning new-site credit.
Practice scenario
Two pins appear 18 metres apart at the same shopping center. Preserve both observations and review photographs before deciding whether the area is the same.
Knowledge check
Does being within 30 metres automatically prove duplication?
Recommended answer: No. Proximity is a screening clue for human review.
This self-check is educational. It does not issue a certificate, authorization, exam score or continuing education credit.
