I forget who it was or where it was but whoever introduced Google Planimeter to me on here is an absolute lifesaver!

Acme Planimeter

I've been able to directly cross-reference physically measured jobs (I'm talking large car parks etc) and have found it to be incredibly accurate, in some cases it has saved me a 80 mile drive to measure an industrial estate (that I had previously measured for patching works, then they wanted an complete overlay pricing)

It is also useful to send to clients indicating the area measured using a simple screen grab and process the image in Photoshop or similar.

So, whoever it was, many thanks! :)

Funnily enough, the thread on here about boundary's ,I think Pablo said the boundary line was 300mm.
I was showing the relatives some indentures from the 18C at the weekend and I noticed the boundaries are marked to the INCH! :O Literally 28'9" was marked on one.
No arguments there, I think the new (well, new the 1990 overhaul)land registry cobblers will be causing some upsets in the future
