GIS and Property Lines Downloaded To Your GPS

Whether your a Realtor, a land owner, a land buyer, a developer, a hunter...at some point you have probably said to yourself "it would really be nice if I could download property boundary lines directly to a handheld GPS.  For a Realtor, this means you can now walk property with a potential buyer with the confidence you know where property lines are and where you are on the property.  For a developer walking large tracts of land, the same is true.  For a hunter, well if you have permission to hunt on someone's land you might want to make sure your actually on that property.

The video below will show you a short video of a solution I put together using Open Source applications to accomplish just that, downloading GIS property lines to a Garmin GPS.
