About
GPS Stakeout turns a written property description into corners you can walk to.
Photograph a printed deed with your camera, paste the text, look up a PLSS section, enter a single bearing-and-distance line, or import a KML boundary — then the app plots the parcel and guides you to each corner with live distance and bearing, plus a haptic pulse when you arrive.
Built for two kinds of use: exploring your own land — walking your deed, seeing your parcel's shape, and getting an approximate sense of where your lines run — and serving as a field aid for licensed surveyors and their crews.
NOT A SURVEY. GPS Stakeout shows approximate, deed-derived locations anchored by your device's GPS. It is not a boundary survey and does not replace one. Only a licensed Professional Land Surveyor can establish or certify a property corner. For anything legal or precise — a fence, construction, a sale, or a boundary dispute — rely on a licensed survey.

What's New in GPS Stakeout
1.11
August 19, 2026
Thanks for downloading GPS Stakeout! This update polishes the experience: • AR boundary overlay: the on-the-ground property view is now labeled "AR" throughout, and Re-Align snaps to the corner you're standing on to remove GPS offset at that point. Corner and distance labels are larger and less cluttered. • Deed parser: now reads a bearing-and-distance course even when a distance is missing its foot mark, with a flag to verify against your plat. • Fixes: the accuracy readout no longer overlaps the iPad compass, the bundled sample plat shows on first launch, and Bearing Basis controls are clearer.
