Explore Real Estate with GPS: Montana Parcel Mobile App

Montana Parcel App: A Location-Based Real Estate Solution

GCS has developed the Montana Parcel App, a cutting-edge, location-based application designed for realtors, title companies, and state and local governments. This Android-enabled smartphone application empowers users to access real estate information remotely, transforming the way property data is accessed and utilized.

Key Features of the Montana Parcel App

• Real-Time Access to Property Information: Users can access comprehensive real estate information from anywhere in the world or while standing on a property. The app uses built-in GPS technology to pinpoint the user’s current location in Montana, allowing for seamless navigation and exploration of property data.
• Interactive Mapping Interface: The intuitive mapping interface lets users zoom in on areas of interest by simply double-tapping the touch screen. This feature enhances user experience and simplifies the search for specific parcels.
• Rapid Information Retrieval: Within seconds, the app retrieves location-specific property information from two web-enabled databases, ensuring users have access to the most up-to-date data.
• Augmented Reality (AR) Integration: The Montana Parcel App is enhanced with the first-ever Augmented Reality (AR) feature for GIS property data, displayed directly in the camera view. This innovative feature allows users to visualize property boundaries and related data in real time.

How It Works

The cadastral information is managed within an ArcSDE geodatabase, served over the web by an Esri ArcGIS Server solution. The smartphone application:

• Displays Property Boundaries: Property boundaries are traced in red on the phone’s map display, providing a clear visual reference.
• Accesses Comprehensive Property Data: The app interfaces with the State of Montana’s Computer-Assisted Mass Appraisal (CAMA) System to retrieve essential property details, including:
  • Owner name
  • Parcel legal description
  • Acreage
  • Assessed value
  • Zoning code

Benefits of Using the Montana Parcel App

• User-Friendly Interface: The app leverages the Android mobile operating system to deliver an easy-to-use solution for anyone needing immediate access to real estate information.
• Convenience at Your Fingertips: Whether you are a realtor, title company, or government official, the Montana Parcel App ensures that vital property information is always accessible, making it an indispensable tool in the real estate industry.

Conclusion

With the Montana Parcel App, GCS is revolutionizing how real estate information is accessed and managed. By combining state-of-the-art technology with user-friendly features, this app serves as a valuable resource for professionals in the real estate sector, enhancing their ability to make informed decisions quickly and efficiently.
