- Precision scope
- Named-feature marker for NAVER's GAK Sejong campus (824 Haengbok-daero, Sejong), used to locate the campus that will host the AI factory. It is not a building footprint, AI-factory hall, parcel boundary or entrance; the feature is categorised as a corporate office and may sit on an administration building within the roughly 294,000 m2 site.
- Horizontal uncertainty
Not reported
The map feature does not publish surveyed horizontal accuracy, and the AI-factory buildings' positions within the campus are not published. The point rounds the named feature tuple (36.5078177, 127.3407162) to five decimal places, a change of under one metre.
- Geometry evidence

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.
