The Philippine Chamber of Real Estate and Builder’s Association (CREBA) announced that the Philippines now has its first fully-automated Web GIS parcellary mapping services called MapSys. It is located at www.mapsys.ph and was designed and built by CREBALAND, the technical arm of CREBA.
According to Atty. Manuel M. Serrano, CREBA’s founder and chairman, this new mapping facility can generate an accurate lot plan and information-packed vicinity map for any given parcel in the country, right in front of the user’s computer screen.
MapSys contains multi-layers of spatial information, such as major and minor road networks, rivers, waterways networks, railroad networks, LGU-approved land use, SAFDZ, land cover, Ecozones, administrative boundaries (from the provincial down to the barangay level), elevation and slope, fault lines, banks, schools, churches, hospitals, commercial/industrial establishments, tourist establishments, utilities and many others.
The map service is available nationwide and globally on the internet. Serrano said, “the map is immediately downloadable after the user enters the parcels technical descriptions from either a title or a survey plan or any other source document.”
MapSys aims to resolve the most common problems of brokers, potential buyers, banks, and investors by pinpointing a land parcel that is for sale and saves the buyer from an expensive and exhausting visit to the site.
The system uses tie points, which is the official geodetic control points, to assure the users of the accuracy of the relative geographic position/location, configuration and boundaries of the parcel as shown in the map outputs. The system also uses a scale that adjusts to the size of the parcel.
“MapSys is extremely user-friendly and does not require orientation for its use”, added Serrano.
