Location details

Coordinates: -1.34973, 36.74851
Geometry licence: all-rights-reserved
Use scope: Campus locator
Scope class: operator_linked_named_constituent_facility_marker_as_parent_campus_locator
Authority: Compiled location reference
Source entity: Campus
Method: operator_selected_google_maps_feature_coordinates
Derivation: direct_geometry
Precision scope: This is the operator-linked marker for the named NBO1 facility, used as the parent locator for the Nairobi Karen campus that contains NBO1 and NBO2. It is not a surveyed point for the NBO2 building and does not give its footprint, entrance, parcel or the campus boundary.
Horizontal uncertainty: Not reported
The operator-linked map place gives no surveyed horizontal accuracy, and the operator does not publish where NBO2 sits relative to NBO1 within the campus.
Geometry evidence: 9f023cac

A locator places the site on the map. It is not a building footprint, a construction extent or a surveyed boundary unless the use scope is an official boundary, and even then it is a parcel or permit boundary.
