Without parcel data…
“Most of the time you have to be In the industry, and try to process that data through a variety of means or multiple different processes to get what you really looking for.”
A parcel map depicts the boundaries of different properties, based on information from deeds and surveys. Parcel mapping includes information about the properties, including acreage, ownership and land classification.
Parcel maps can be found in a variety of different locations. Most commonly, they can be derived from government databases or public libraries. However, accessing these maps may be difficult. Instead, check out Equator‘s parcel data set for all your property needs!
Equator provides centralized access to parcel data and makes it easy to use in CAD and GIS software. The platform allows users to easily clip parcel data to individual sites and export it as a drawing file (DWG) or GIS file (SHP).
Looking up parcel data on Google maps can be unreliable since it does not usually provide detailed property boundaries on the platform. While switching to ‘satellite’ view can help, Equator provides accurate parcel data in less time and with less resources used overall.
Parcel maps provide the legal boundaries of each property. The metadata of each parcel will provide you with information such as parcel IDs, longitude/latitude of the site, elevation, legal address, zoning, and census data.
In Equator, it is quite simple. Simply click on the parcel and a box with the metadata will pop up. This will provide you with the parcel number, longitude and latitude, elevation and street address.
After setting up your Equator account, upload your parcel map file onto the platform and instantly work on your map. Entirely customizable, users can now curate their projects to fit specific parameters and improve their productivity.
To work on parcel maps on any CAD software, it will first need to be imported in an appropriate file format like DWG or SHP. It can then be edited and reviewed, prior to saving it and exporting it.
