RAYTIBBITTS  I purchased L2N after trying out the demo, and realizing that I would really, really need this some day. I hate buying software, just as much as most people, especially when it is a program that alows me to do something that seems like it should be simple for me to do on my own...in fact, before purchasing my Nokia N80, my previous cell phone, a Nokia 6600, worked just fine as a bluetooth modem, after downloading a simple driver, and figuring out my carrier's modem phone number. Since I couldn't figure this out on my own for my N80, and since I moved to Spain, I went ahead and purchased Launch to Net. - And I have had no buyers remorse. In fact, it worked flawlessly for over six months, and then, because of some harddisk errors on my computer (my fault for unplugging a drive while it was in the middle of working.) - the program developed a disk-permission related glitch. I was distraught, as I have become addicted to this program, but a simple fix was sent to me, the very same day that I emailed NovaMedia's support team in Germany? It now works even better than ever, luckily my company has a very liberal mobile and data policy.

RAYTIBBITTS  I do not work for or with the producers or programmers of this application, but I am a user of it, and I am planning on moving from being a hobbyist to frequently relying upon it.

Metes and Bounds, the program, will give you area (acreage) calculations from Metes and Bounds data. The accuracy of the resulting calculation depends directly on the accuracy of the source data entered, and whether it was entered correctly.

Assuming you have the right source data, and you entered it correctly (and it doesn't have any curves in it)...you should be able to use it for calculating acreage. (However, how often do you have the metes and bounds, but not the acreage?)

I plan on using this program as part of a checklist I have when reviewing proposed contracts to build new houses on scattered lots.
