Electronic Distance Meter(EDM) is widely used for the traverse surveying and trilateration net recently, therefore, the study on reliability of EDM is very important. In this study, the reliability of EDM is examined by calculating the distortion of traverse surveying net, statistically analyzing the results of side length between triangulation and trilateration. As the result of this study, correction equation of EDM and steel-tape is obtained. And also, linear regression equations with correlation coefficient (0.89-0.98) show resulting from the error analysis of each side length. In addition to checking the distortion of traverse surveying net, distortion calculated with correction EDM appears to be the smallest value.
