The Spatial Quality and Anomalies Diagnosis (SQUAD) tool checks for six anomalies that are based on common errors in point-location data sets. This information can be used to prioritize the type and extent of investigation needed for records that may have problems. The anomalies that can be checked are:
- Missing coordinates
- Truncated coordinates (lack of adequate precision)
- Duplicate coordinates for distinct records
- Duplicate key attributes (two identical names, but plotting in different locations)
- Coordinate not located exactly where it would be expected (but falling within two kilometers of a border)
- Coordinate not located anywhere near where expected
