Deed to Map: Metes & Bounds

Read the boundary description on your deed and see your land
on the map.

Deed to Map reads US-style metes and bounds, the bearings and
distances written on deeds, surveys, plats and annexation
ordinances, and draws the parcel they describe. Photograph the
page, check what was read, and watch the shape appear over
satellite imagery.

Everything happens on your device. Your deed is never uploaded.

READ YOUR DOCUMENT
- Photograph a page, or import a photo or PDF you already have
- Text recognition runs entirely on your iPhone
- Review every call before anything is drawn, and correct it by
hand where the paper is unclear

CHECK THAT IT READ CORRECTLY
- The app walks the calls and tells you whether the description
closes
- See the misclosure in feet and the precision as a ratio
- Compare the computed acreage against the acreage your deed
states
- When a description does not close, the app names the call most
likely at fault

Closure is the real check. A misread call can move part of a
boundary without changing its area at all, so the app treats
closure, not acreage, as proof that it read your document
correctly.

WRITTEN THE WAY DEEDS ARE WRITTEN
- Quadrant bearings such as N 45°30' E, and azimuths, including
azimuths measured clockwise from true south as Hawaii
descriptions are written
- Curves by radius, arc, chord and delta
- Feet, US survey feet, meters, chains, rods, poles, perches,
links and varas
- Magnetic bearings corrected for the year of the survey
- Bearings are shown exactly as your document wrote them

SEE IT ON THE GROUND (Pro)
- Place the parcel on satellite imagery from printed
coordinates, an address, your GPS position, or by hand
- Walk to each corner with live GPS accuracy
- Measure distances and areas on your land
- Check whether a spot is inside your boundary
- Export to KML, GPX and CSV
- A PDF report of the plat, every call and its closure

FREE AND PRO
Reading your deed is free and always will be: scanning,
recognition, the review screen, the drawing, the acreage and the
closure check. You can confirm the app read your document
correctly without paying anything.

Pro is a one-time purchase. Not a subscription. Nothing to renew
and nothing to cancel.

WHAT THIS IS NOT
This is not a land survey and has no legal standing. It draws
what your document says, at the position you choose. Boundary
disputes, construction and property transactions require a
licensed surveyor.

WHERE IT WORKS
Deed to Map reads US-style metes and bounds. A document written
under a different cadastral tradition will usually not be
readable. PLSS aliquot descriptions such as the NE1/4 of the
SW1/4 of Section 14 are not metes and bounds; the app says so
rather than guessing.

PRIVACY
No accounts, no analytics, no tracking, no advertising. Your
documents and the text read from them stay on your device.
