Pilot / astronaut: so that he knows exactly where he is, the direction he is heading and his speed. This minimises the chances of him crashing his craft. Crime scene investigator: the more accurate his measurements, the stronger the resultant evidence. Civil engineer: minimise cost; maximise reliability.
