![]() Seems like I'd have to sit thru hours of videos or tutorials to figure it out. QGIS - just too complex for me right now. Can't plot more than one layer / can't import any background layers. "Metes and Bounds" - can plot a poly, but that's all in the free version. It's a case of plot, move origin, plot, move origin, etc., etc. GREAT program, I can input the points in poles and plot on USGS Hydro and can export lat/longs, but just cannot grab and move the polygons around to see where they fit. I'm retired and just have this one-off project, so makes no sense to spend a lot of money for something like ArcGis (which apparently doesn't run on Mac anyway). I have a total of 5 surveys.Ĭ) Most important - Has the ability for me to grab and drag each layer in order to fit up against creeks & rivers as well each other.ĭ) Preferably all of this as free or cheap software for Mac. These are surveys adjacent to my ancestor's and help verify the boundaries. Basically I've got a polygon and the only way I can figure out where it fits in space is to drag it around on a map and see how the boundaries fit up against creeks or rivers.Ĭan anyone suggest some (Mac) GIS software that will allow me to:Ī) Plot a polygon using poles (rods) on top of a regular topo map which shows watercourses, such as USGS Hydroī) Add additional surveys as layers (also poles). I recently found my ancestor's 1803 deed in Adair Co., Ky and am trying to plot it on a map to figure out where it's located. Total Newbie here - sorry for the long post.
