WALK AND MEASURE

Walk your land and measure it

Tap the location button to see which lot you are standing in. Walk its edges with your phone in hand: the app guides you to each corner, buzzes as you near a border, and measures the area and side lengths of the path you walked. Accuracy follows your phone's GPS, usually a few metres.

QUESTIONS

Frequently asked

What is ColombiaCad?

ColombiaCad is an iPhone and Android app that shows Colombia's cadastral parcels: each municipality drawn lot by lot with its numbers, over satellite imagery or a street map. You can find a lot by its property number, read its area and every side length, see it in 3D with its altitude and slope, measure land on the map or on foot, and keep whole zones offline.

How do I find a lot by its number?

Type the 30-digit número predial in the municipality list and the app tells you which zone holds it. Inside a zone, tap the magnifier and type the número predial, the old 20-digit number, or the block and lot (for example 107-25). The map flies to the lot and shows its area, its perimeter and every side length, and one tap gives you directions to it.

Which municipalities does ColombiaCad cover?

1,108 municipalities in all 33 departments, with over 11 million lots, from La Guajira to the Amazon. Big cities come in several parts: Bogotá in 58 and Medellín in 28. A few municipalities are not in yet, such as Pereira, and the map in the app shows every zone available today.

Can I see the altitude and slope of a lot?

Yes. Tap any lot for its altitude, slope and facing, with a 3D model of the land you can turn and tilt. Terrain view shades every lot by how steep it is, or draws contour lines across the zone.

Can I measure my land by walking it?

Yes. Tap the location button to see which lot you are standing in, then walk its edges and mark each corner. The app guides you along the borders and measures the area and side lengths of the path you walked. Accuracy follows your phone's GPS, usually a few metres, so treat the result as a guide, not a survey.

Does ColombiaCad work without internet?

Yes. Download a zone once and it works with no signal, on site, on the farm or in the mountains.

Is ColombiaCad free?

The app is free to download, and Salento, in Quindío, and Funza, beside Bogotá, are open for you to try it. ColombiaCad Pro, monthly or yearly, opens every zone we cover, current and future, plus JPEG and PDF export.

Are ColombiaCad maps official?

No. They are for reference and planning. They are not a certificado catastral, a certificado de tradición y libertad or a survey. For transactions and legal matters, rely on the cadastre, the land registry office and a licensed surveyor.

Where does the data come from?

From the open data of Colombia's Instituto Geográfico Agustín Codazzi (IGAC): its public cadastre and SINIC, plus Itagüí's municipal cadastre. Every lot names its source and the date of the cut. It is open data under Creative Commons licences and includes no owner names or ID numbers. Heights come from the Copernicus GLO-30 model. Details are in the Terms of Use.

Can I use ColombiaCad on a computer?

Soon. The web version is coming to app.colombiacad.com, with the same account and subscription as your phone.
