Questions and answers on how to convert things from one unit or system to another

Forum rules

Dear convert-me.com forum visitors,

Our forum has been available for many years. In September 2014 we decided to switch it to read-only mode. Month after month we saw less posts with questions and answers from real people and more spam posts. We were spending more and more resources cleaning the spam until there were less them 1 legitimate message per 100 spam posts. Then we decided it's time to stop.

All the posts in the forum will be available and searchable. We understand there are a lot of useful information and we aren't going to remove anything. As for the new questions, you can always ask them on convert-me.com FaceBook page

Thank you for being with us and sorry for any inconveniences this could caused.

convert legal land description to latitude/longitude

Thu Nov 18, 2004 8:21 am

Is anyone aware of a website or a program available that will calculate latitude and longitude from a legal land decription, including township and range, etc. and vice versa?

I require a program that has a database that contains Canadian information.

Many thanks if anyone has any ideas...

There is one application I have found called SCADALink Locator, which I believe can do what you want. It can be found here: http://www.scadalink.com/locator

It depends on where the property is. Can you provide more information?

henrygrik, the SCADALink website looks like they are offering a free web application, SCADALink Locator Mobile, now. It works on mobile devices such as Andriod, iPhones and Blackberries, and it seems to work on desktop browsers, too.

The tract description should also be converted from feet to meters if working with UTM?
