Three forms of headings are handled, and they can be mixed within the same deed:

1. Standard survey format (e.g. N23E 100 poles)
2. Degrees/minutes/seconds format (e.g. N23/15/32E 85 rods)
3. Compass point format (e.g. NExN.5pN 64 chains)

Length units: pole, rod, perch, foot, chain, link, vara, arpent, meter, yard, plus a user-defined unit. Straight line headings only. Additionally, you can redefine any length unit to have a non-standard value.

The program calculates actual area in the following units: acre, hectare, arpent, labor, plus a user-defined unit.

Parcel corners must be within 5 miles (1600 rods/poles) of each other. Lines longer than this must be broken into sections of 5 miles or less.

Scale: 31 feet per inch through 12 miles per inch. (You can also customize within these bounds)

Export KML (Google Earth) format if you are using our optional background maps.
