A mobile application designed for the Android operating system that assists users in approximating the location of property boundaries. These tools leverage the device’s GPS capabilities, satellite imagery, and publicly available land records to provide a visual representation of where a property’s legal limits may lie. As an example, a user could input their address into such an application and then view an overlay on a map indicating the estimated property lines.
The utility of these applications stems from their ability to provide a quick and accessible reference point for property owners, potential buyers, and others interested in land boundaries. These tools can aid in confirming the placement of fences, landscaping, or structures relative to the perceived property line. The increasing availability of satellite imagery and digital land records, coupled with advancements in GPS technology, has fueled the development and adoption of these applications, offering a convenient alternative to traditional surveying methods for initial assessments.
