I stand corrected on this, but I believe that the SGO has in
house tools and of course the surveyors have survey programs
that capture it. One must be careful as the tricky part is
connecting one parcel to the next - as your area of capture gets
larger and different Land Surveyors have done different surveys
you will see they don't fit together (because one is working on
coordinates).</font><br>
<br>
Coordinates are pretty meaningless to a land surveyor aside to
give a general location, they have little weight.<br>
<br>
You will find as well that the bearing and distance need not tally
up on adjoining surveys. I rarely adopt previous bearing and
distances and prefer to use my own measurements.<br>

<pre wrap="">Hi Gavin,
I find it rather strange that nobody in South Africa has developed such a system that is compatible with your Survey System as the Government has decided to implement open sourced GIS?

Subject: [!! SPAM] Re: [OSGeo Africa] How to capture cadastral data using QGIS
Hi Johan
The Azimuth and Distance plugin that Uazu mentions does the basics but is fairly rudimentary.
We've developed a QGIS plugin that does coordinate as well as bearing and distance capture and editing. It maintains the 'beacons' thus generated as points in PostGIS. It then allows you to graphically define a parcel based on an ordered set of beacons and generates the parcels on the fly. The result is a beacon layer and a dynamic 'parcels' layer.
It is working on 1.8 in a client environment (Ogun State, Nigeria) and would need funding to update to the QGIS 2.0 API and to make it more generic for wider release.
There is also a UN FOSS project for cadastral management, SOLA [1], that is being trialled in various locations

<pre wrap="">Hi Johan
The AZIMUTH and DISTANCE Plugin seems to be what you are looking for.
Note: I haven't used it.
There is unfortunately not much documentation on the internet or the
plugin homepage.
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/qgsazimuth/">http://sourceforge.net/projects/qgsazimuth/</a>
The plugin interface seems simple enough I am sure you will figure it out.

Uazu
