Metes and Bounds 3.8.0 has been released by Sandy Knoll Software. It’s a fairly significant release – several new additions to the software.
Metes and Bounds is a cross-platform application (Mac, Windows, Linux) that allows you to take raw data and turn it into deed plot maps. It can calculate feet, acreage, and hectares using rods, chains, meters, yards, inches, fathoms, hands, spans, or furlongs. It can support merging or splitting of plots It supports GPS as well. It’s one of those applications that most people will never need, but it might prove useful to a genealogist who is doing research on say homesteads. If you need such an application, you’re going to really need it!
