Abstract
Disclosed is a land website that provides a personalized database on which data can be stored, retrieved, customized and communicated (e.g., by e-mail) relating to a particular piece of property. The database can be accessible via a password and a security code over the Internet and may be encrypted for transmission. Land websites can be established that contain image data, map libraries, virtual tours, legal descriptions, title information, e-documents, actual pictures of property and various other information. Information stored on the land website may be obtained by searching the Internet. The land website provides a unique way of packaging information relating to a piece of land in a single, accessible location. A boundary applet tool is provided on the land website portal that allows a user to simply and easily draw boundaries and/or create boundaries automatically around the property of interest and then submit an order for more detailed information about the property of interest. Properties of interest can be easily accessed by a global coordinate system or by searching on map data that is provided on a wide range of scales. Further, boundaries may be monitored for items changing or moving on the property and/or items entering or leaving the property.
