For my bar Mitzvah project, I chose to help a park in Oakland be more cared for. The people in the neighborhood asked me to design a map of the park with layers and details that you can toggle on or off. I couldn’t decide which program to use so my dad, Adam Weiss, looked up good programs that I can use. He came across this video and we checked it out and it helped us so much. While we were watching the video, my dad looked at who posted this video. Amy Grotta. It turns out that not only did you make an incredibly useful video, but my dad also happens to know you. Thank you so much for making this video and it helped a lot.
Thank you for creating AND sharing this video with us, Amy! I found it easy to understand and very helpful. It is something I can and will use, starting today!
Thank you so much! I had been layering boundary lines from the tax office over images downloaded from google earth in a photo editing software. This will save me HOURS!
I'm trying to embed my created map to my website. When I click the three dots in the upper right portion of my created map title, then click embed on my site", I get a window that tells me that my map is not public. I don't get the "Sharing settings" page at 8:42 like you got? Instead, I get a small box that's titled "Share with people and groups". I click change settings and it shows "Public". What gives?
Thank you so much! I had been struggling trying to figure out the property line on the satellite map. I don't know why maps can't overlay it directly. But your method is awesome and worked well.
Beneficial video - thanks. The only problem I had recreating it the faint gray tax boundary lines. Doesn't matter what map or part of the country I zoom in on, I can't get it to do that.
DO it on satellite view and use measure distance feature. The gray lines are lot lines and can be copied with screen print or you can name the map and save it.
Just a caution: tax boundary information is nor necessarily actual ownership boundary. Some say "close enough for government work" but if you want it to hold legal weight, you must rely on the original deed(s).
Hi amygrotta your tutorial is excellant. I am following a similiar exercise to yours outlining a property but when I click layers and satellite view, there are already unwanted markers on my google map. How do I remove these unwanted markers please. Thanks in advance.
Excellent video - I was wondering what software you use for your gps points on your cell phone - also are the extension of those files -Many thanks in advance
Thank you, now how do you save it, or lock it from being edited again coz any slight mistake of change by any shared viewers results in changing the whole map. So how can I save my map? And if editing, only myself to do that. Thank you otherwise I created mine too. From a scratch ❤ love you ❤️ 🙂 😘
Iam failing to acquire a farm design or plan(that is where to put infrustures such as roads and buildings and which buildings to build first). I am requesting your help in coming up with the ideal plan and design. Thank you
Your video is great.... It Will help me big time however I don’t get the light gray lines for the property boundaries..... Is there some kind of setting that needs to be turned on or is it just not provided by the County?
Amy, I've been growling for some time. My GPS, the county site and the Lat/Long formats allowed, and the interface are really difficult with Maps. Dang. I'm a technical guy but what should be simple and intuitive is beyond comprehension and the help is benign. Maybe my county doesn't contribute property lines but there are no little green lines for parcels. Trying to input Lat/Long points is incomprehensible - they are rejected, regardless of filter tools for format. And how can one delete previous markers done manually? Still trying that effort. Arrgh.
Is it marked for public as well? For example you want to add blocks or sectors of an area and label them as block A, B, C and so on. Will it be done publicly and be helpful for people?
Thank you. This looks like a very useful feature. Unfortunately, it appears Google has removed it sometime prior to this comment (March 2024). C'est la vie!
Googlemaps has my property offset from the actual location. This may be due to the fact that I live on a dirt portion of the road and the Google mapping car does not or did not go 150' past the paved intersection. Also after following the directions you provide, I do not see any tax lines for my or any of the adjacent properties. I am in NC. Any ideas? Thank you for a very interesting video.
The tutorial was very helpful, Amy! A little doubt though. The area of the polygon is shown in acres and mine shows in hectare. I am unable to change It to acres or any other annotation other than hectare. Could you please show how it could be done? Much help.
This is what is frustrating about youtube videos, rarely do you get a video that is accurate and helps you. I have been trying to get clean maps that show just the property lines boundaries etc just like what you see in the intro in your video. I logged on Google Earth Pro and do not see a map options tab like in this video.I tried to do a screenshot to illustrate but dip %^%&^% youtube doesn't seem to have an option to attach files go figure.
This is very useful. I'm going to use it for our 80 acre farm and plot where we've planted walnut trees.
super helpful. You're a great example for others on how to clearly articulate information and instructions
Thank You

Zach, what a small world! Congratulations on your Bar Mitzvah and say Hi to your Dad from me!
I cannot find Your Places anywhere on the sidebar.
I had a huge task to plot an area and shade it, you instructions was extremely articulate, thank you!

Nice video! Is there a way to add dimensions and bearings to each line on this map? I’m trying to make an actual plat map. Thanks

Thank you so much for sharing. This will be a huge help for my middle school students.

I have this exact problem! My driveway is not on my land according to tax lot info.

Do you know how to remove the standard google points that show up on maps?
How do you get the property lines in the map?
Can I upload an image on the selected coordinates/area?
how would you know where the property line is ?
Hi amygrotta your tutorial is excellant. I am following a similiar exercise to yours outlining a property but when I click layers and satellite view, there are already unwanted markers on my google map. How do I remove these unwanted markers please. Thanks in advance.
Great, quick, tutorial. I'm eager to give it a try. Thanks!
After we color on hover can we see the city name, if so how to do
Excellent video - I was wondering what software you use for your gps points on your cell phone - also are the extension of those files -Many thanks in advance
Thank you, now how do you save it, or lock it from being edited again coz any slight mistake of change by any shared viewers results in changing the whole map.
So how can I save my map? And if editing, only myself to do that. Thank you otherwise I created mine too. From a scratch ❤ love you ❤️ 🙂 😘
Thank you Amy that was very helpful! Greetings from Puglia, Italy...
This seems to give only a close approximation. At least in rural Eastern Nevada County, CA the tax line maps are very inaccurate.
Excellent tutorial. Thanks!
Thanks Amy! that was very helpful.
Iam failing to acquire a farm design or plan(that is where to put infrustures such as roads and buildings and which buildings to build first). I am requesting your help in coming up with the ideal plan and design. Thank you
Can I make it public for everyone to see when the type the name of my property on Google map?
This looks really good, but it needs updating. I'm not finding many of the commands you reference.
I was looking for a question
How to download the map I marked
Can you answer this question?
Your are one smart lady! 👍
we cant set a specific scale for the my maps ? also it doesnt show the scale value to you at rhs bottom
Thank you for this nice tutorial. How can i add the map so it can be viewed by all.
Can it be seen in other phones or another account??

Thank you so much for such a wonderful video it was very well made and very well explained thanks again.
Your video is great.... It Will help me big time however I don’t get the light gray lines for the property boundaries..... Is there some kind of setting that needs to be turned on or is it just not provided by the County?
Agree, no grey lines show up
Good video. How can I make my base map my county GSI MAP so I will have owners names and property lines?
Can this boundary line be shown publicly on Google maps ?
can we figure out the construction exact coordinates with an app?

Arrgh.
Hi Amy, what gps app do you use on your phone?
How to remove the outside part of the property??
super duper helpful. Thank you very much!
Waaawooo Great ,, Thank you
Google Maps doesn't show property lines in my area. :(
Did you figure this out? I am trying to shade multiple county lines. I know the info exists, click on view in google maps and it is shaded.
Thank you very much. It will be helpful for my app development.
Tax boundaries don't show regardless how far zoom in or out, yet they show in Zillow. Please help.
Thanku so much for sharing this information
Will this show the streets on the property when you print it out
Good job👍
I am from India
Is it marked for public as well? For example you want to add blocks or sectors of an area and label them as block A, B, C and so on. Will it be done publicly and be helpful for people?
Same question.....If you find the solution then reply me bro
Hi Amy, are you familiar with land development property noticing business?
Very useful. Thank you Amy. Well presented
Great info. I agree with Miles West about vocal fry. I watched it mostly muted.
Thank you. This looks like a very useful feature. Unfortunately, it appears Google has removed it sometime prior to this comment (March 2024). C'est la vie!
Excellent!👍
Very good. I liked that. Thanks 😊
Thanks Amy. Working on transport plans made easy ;-)
No matter how I zoom in I cannot see any tax property lines in Northern Wisconsin
If I make a property boundary will it show up on my phone’s map as well?
Thanks for sharing. Keep in mind such maps are not made in Google Maps but in what is called "Google My Maps".
Googlemaps has my property offset from the actual location. This may be due to the fact that I live on a dirt portion of the road and the Google mapping car does not or did not go 150' past the paved intersection. Also after following the directions you provide, I do not see any tax lines for my or any of the adjacent properties. I am in NC. Any ideas? Thank you for a very interesting video.
Could you work from your county's GIS map?
Thanks for your tutorial! How can I change the owner for the map, so that the new owner could change the map?
Superb
The tax lot boundaries do not display. I'm using an iMac desktop / Firefox as my browser. Rural NW Arkansas property.
Excellent, thank you so much for this tutorial!
Excellent tutorial, thank you.
Now I have worked on gis department but I doubt how to create and connect a vertex edge
Thank you. Good tutorial

Thanks a lot for sharing !
The tutorial was very helpful, Amy! A little doubt though. The area of the polygon is shown in acres and mine shows in hectare. I am unable to change It to acres or any other annotation other than hectare. Could you please show how it could be done? Much help.
That would be google localizer bot.
All tax line boundries are off by at least 20 feet and in Ohio usually 20 feet on the right Left/Right borders ...

One small detail, there are no lot lines on Google maps
It's not on all property's like it was
