Metes Mapper

Metes Mapper turns the legal description on a deed into a drawn parcel. Scan the document with your camera — or paste the text — tap Parse, and see the boundary, acreage, and closure. Then place it on real satellite imagery. SCAN THE DEED • Built-in document scanner captures typed or printed deeds, multi-page included • Or import existing photos of a deed from your library • Text recognition runs entirely on your iPhone — the document never leaves your device • Smart cleanup fixes the misreads old documents cause, like degree marks read as letters BUILT FOR REAL DEEDS • Reads quadrant bearings (N 45°30'15" E) and cardinal calls • Handles feet, varas, chains, rods, and poles — including fractions like 996-8/10 • Skips past passing calls and descriptive language instead of choking on them • Guided Parse walks the document call by call and flags anything it skipped, so you can review or fix each course — the perfect double-check for a scanned deed SEE THE PARCEL • Clean plot with call numbers, bearings, distances, area, and a north arrow — each label toggleable • Closure check: if the deed doesn't return to the point of beginning, a callout shows exactly where and by how far • Area in acres, square feet, square meters, or hectares, plus perimeter and closure precision PUT IT ON THE MAP • Position the parcel on satellite imagery with a simple pan-and-lock reticle • Search by place or address, or enter exact latitude/longitude • Load several parcels at once: arrange them on the map, compare them side by side, and see combined totals SHARE YOUR WORK • Export a plat sheet, plot, or satellite overlay as PNG, PDF, or JPEG • Export the course table as CSV • Everything mirrors your display settings, so what you see is what you share PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your deeds, scans, and parcels never leave your device. No account, no sign-in, no analytics, no tracking — ever. Whether you're checking an old deed against the ground, prepping an exhibit, or just curious what "THENCE North 45 degrees East 300 feet" actually looks like, Metes Mapper gets you from paper to acreage fast.
