LandProtect

Land Protect has grown into a more powerful land intelligence, mapping, measurement, and fieldwork platform. What’s new: • Improved GPS/GNSS tools with precision point capture, averaging, accuracy monitoring, external GNSS support, advanced stakeout, and field navigation. • Enhanced Deed Plotter with automatic starting-corner capture, improved deed-call parsing, WGS-84 calculations, closure analysis, bearing correction, deed scanning, and live map previews. • Expanded LiDAR tools for supported iPhone and iPad models, including two-point measurements, height, horizontal and vertical distance, slope, grade, 3D scanning, point clouds, and improved Live LiDAR Depth. • Upgraded Live LiDAR Depth with corrected orientation, camera/depth/overlay modes, tap-to-measure targeting, confidence filtering, range controls, freeze mode, scene statistics, snapshots, and saved depth observations. • New terrain and elevation tools using available elevation data for profiles, slope analysis, drainage insights, high/low points, road planning, and 3D property visualization. • New property planning tools for setbacks, buildable-area screening, easements, rights-of-way, transmission and utility corridors, property crossings, split acreage, road/driveway planning, and fence planning. • Added traverse surveying tools with closure calculations and optional Bowditch adjustment. • Expanded field evidence tools with monument records, multiple photos, reference ties, notes, voice recordings, inspections, documents, and geotagged observations. • Added property track recording for walking routes, distance, elevation, and field activity. • Expanded import and export support, including project packages, CSV, KML, GPX, GeoJSON, DXF, LandXML, GeoPackage, MBTiles, PDF reports, geospatial PDFs, and LiDAR point-cloud formats. • Added professional project quality checks to identify closure issues, missing evidence, poor GPS accuracy, incomplete records, and other items before export. • Added offline mapping and expanded project portability for fieldwork without reliable cellular service. • Added parcel and GIS tools, including configurable ArcGIS layer support and expanded map-layer management. • Added document and plat tools, including deed/plat scanning, OCR-assisted extraction, georeferencing, and optional on-device document analysis on supported devices. • Added team and field-workflow features including tasks, nearby project sharing, optional team location tools, and Apple Watch companion support. • Improved app navigation, Field Tools layout, map workflows, address search behavior, performance, reliability, and compiler compatibility. • Numerous fixes and refinements throughout the app, including improved data persistence, backward compatibility, privacy handling, App Store readiness, and field-tool usability. Land Protect continues to combine GPS, GNSS, LiDAR, deed plotting, terrain analysis, parcel intelligence, offline mapping, and professional reporting in one field-ready app. Note: Land Protect provides mapping, measurement, and field-reference tools. Property boundaries and measurements should not be treated as a substitute for a legally authoritative land survey.
