Lot Plotter

Turn the technical description on a TCT or OCT into lot corners you can open in Google Maps. Check the closure and the area against the title, then see the lot on satellite imagery.

Approximate only, may not be accurate

The plotted lot is an estimate, not a survey. Errors in the title text or the reading of it, monument coordinates, datum conversion and map imagery can each shift or distort the outline by several metres or more. Confirm boundaries with a licensed geodetic engineer before buying, building or fencing.

Outside Bataan, find the monument in Google Maps, right-click it and click the coordinates to copy them, then paste here.

Fine alignment

Use these when the plotted lot sits slightly off the fences on satellite imagery, as older surveys on true or magnetic bearings often do.

3 Put it on Google Maps

Open center in Google Maps Preview on geojson.io
  1. Download the .csv file.
  2. Open mymaps.google.com, create a map, and choose Import under the first layer.
  3. Pick the file. The lot outline and the tie monument appear; switch the base map to Satellite to check it against fences.

Google Earth: open the KML file under Projects, then Import KML file.

Bearings are plotted as grid bearings on the Philippine Transverse Mercator zone of the anchor point; datum shifts use the standard EPSG parameters for PRS92 and Luzon 1911. Monument list: Geoportal Philippines' Lot Plotter tie points for Bataan and the Bureau of Lands list of reference-point positions; a pick is only as good as the list, and official coordinates come from DENR / LMB. This is a planning and verification aid, not a relocation survey. Boundary disputes and titling need a licensed geodetic engineer.
