Tech/Engineering - Surveying | | Spanish term or phrase: sobre una base de / en base al | This is one of the services offered by a company that helps clients set up agricultural operations in Romania. I've put my provisional translation below. I don't have much knowledge or experience in mapping, and I'm a little unsure how this should all fit together, particularly in relation to the terms posted. TIA

| | orthophoto / cadastral base maps | Explanation:
I’m no expert, but I have translated some material in the field, and from the research I’ve done these two terms seem to be fairly widely used.
You can see further evidence of this by browsing the search results for each term via the links below.
Hope this helps.

It could be the case Ross, although I suggested "based on cadstral maps" because of the "identificadas con" in the ST. I was originally going to suggest "either/or" as a proposition there. |

| Grading comment Thanks, James. I used "orthophoto base maps" for the first part and "based on cadastral maps" for the second.
