Background. I'm a 20 year experienced AutoCAD drafter mostly working in the Architectural industry until it collapsed. I worked in civil for a number of years too. I've created more site plans then I can remember using MANY differnt source materials.

Want to map your property? I can offer to help you. It would be nice to get a little cash for it to help me out...lol
It can be provided in a variey of difference file formats depending on what you want to use to view/print it.


BUT

You can do it yourself for free, if you invest the time into it.

Use a mobile GPS to get coordinates of important places like Main line junctions, corners of the property etc.
Then use Google earth... You can plug in the coordinates and even draw some lines between them.

You can also import images like property lines downloaded from your local county accessors office.

There is also a freeware program called sketchup that you can draw with and import into google earth.

Let me know if you would like some help... ;-)
