The metes and bounds report creates a detailed description of the district boundaries in a plan. Caliper will customize the report to utilize the exact language and levels of political geography required in your bill. If done manually, a metes and bounds report takes months and months of staff time to complete and can be subject to numerous errors. Running the Maptitude metes and bounds report for all the New York congressional districts takes just a few minutes and the output is a one-to-one match with the Census Bureau's TIGER/Line file. The user has the option of reporting the TIGER/Line ID (TLID) for features that are not named. The user can then use Maptitude's Find function to zoom the map to the feature for further identification. Please contact us for pricing.
