Abstract
A method is provided for computer-aided mapping of geographically referenced measurements which are collected in association with individual measuring positions. The method is checked by computer with test circles for all pairs of adjacent measuring positions, to determine whether further measuring position falls within them. All such measuring positions in which said test criterion is fulfilled are declared as boundary positions. Furthermore, the inner/outer location is determined and the best possible approximation to the boundary path is determined from the sequence of boundary positions.
