Nowadays evaluating the maps seems to be one of the topical issues. Correlating maps with different scales, built in different projections, at different periods of time and high resolution images allows us to estimate the evaluation error of the map data and to make corrections on criteria for exactness. The article focuses on the uncertainty center method used to evaluate accuracy of the digital relief model. As a result with the help of SRTM the authors built digital relief model in ENVY software and set up the values of systematic height shifts and random error components.

Key words: raster map, uncertainty center method, evaluation error, digital relief model, random error component.
