Which point type that should be used depends on:
==Point types where the main intended use is for Cluster and UXO==__NOEDITSECTION__
==Single points for areas==__NOEDITSECTION__
'''Reference point'''is a fixed point of reference some distance outside the hazardous area. It should be an easily recognised feature (such as a cross-roads or a bridge) which can be used to assist in navigating to one or more benchmarks.
'''Landmark'''has the same definition as Reference point.
'''Benchmark'''is a fixed point of reference used to locate a marked and recorded hazard or hazardous area. It should normally be located a short distance outside the hazardous area. It should be safe to walk from the Reference / Landmark to the Benchmark.
{{note| A benchmark may not be necessary if the reference point / landmark is sufficiently close to the perimeter of the hazardous area.}}
==Polygon / polyline points for areas==__NOEDITSECTION__
'''Start Point'''is used as the name for the first Turning point in the polygon/polyline. '''Datum Point'''has the same definition as Start point but is more unusual. '''Turning point'''is a fixed point on the ground which indicates a change in direction of the perimeter of the hazardous area. It shall be clearly marked and recorded. Buried metal objects should be used to mark all turning points for permanent future reference. '''Intermediate point'''is a survey marker used between Turning points that are more than 50m apart or if it is not possible to see the next Turning point due to e.g. vegetation. '''End Point'''is used as name for the last Turning point of the polygon/polyline.
