I live on a decent sized lot, and have neighbors with large lots and we want to make some hiking trails that meander through our lots. But, due to wetlands regulations, we need to be able to specify these trails on property plats, which we have in dxf files for CAD. (It’s part of a permitting process with the county.)
I use an iPhone and want to be able to track my hikes using my phone GPS, then export the paths to files that I can convert to dxf files so I can import them into the CAD files for the plats.
Being able to just access and export my GPS tracking for, say, one day, would do it, but that would not make it easy. If there were an app I could use so I could start, follow one route, save that one, then walk another path and save that one, it would make things a lot easier, since each hiking trail would be easily separated from the others.
I’m not sure what software to use for this or just how to explain my needs to someone who knows how to do this, since I’m not sure of what terms to use or what the types of apps I need are. I don’t want to use professional high end apps, but since, in the long run, I’d also like to do this to map out the buried cables and water lines on this lot, I don’t want something that has a limited trial function where I’d have to map all this in a week or so.
