German term

metrisch exakt

German to English Tech/Engineering Surveying measuring
website for a company providing surveying service for civil engineering projects using aerial surveys, echo sounding surveys etc.

Following text appears under the heading of Photogrammetrie: Die Welt aus der Vogelperspektive
- metrisch exakt.

I thought of "accurate to within one metre" but I am not sure of the degree of accuracy involved. Possibly "with spot-on accuracy"?

metrically exact

i.e. "exact in terms of measurement" - metric here meaning "relating to measurement" rather than necessarily to do with "metres"
