PURPOSE: An apparatus and a method of field inspection for generating a digital map are provided to improve the reliability and accuracy of a digital map, since manual work is automated during the production of digital map. CONSTITUTION: An apparatus and a method of field inspection for generating a digital map comprises a communication interface(110), a camera unit(120), a measuring unit(130), a search scan unit(140), a matching unit(150), a display unit(160), an input unit(170), a deviation compensation unit(182), and an edition unit(184). The communication interface is a transceiver. The camera unit photographs artificial features and natural features through a camera. The measuring unit measures location coordinate values in real time. The search scan unit applies coordinates, which the measuring unit measures, on the scanned image of the natural feature and the artificial feature. The matching unit additionally matches property data of the corresponding artificial features and the natural feature. The input unit adds, deletes, and corrects difference of artificial features, natural features, and property information. The deviation compensation unit compensates difference between two coordinates. The edition unit edits the digital map data and the property information data.
