Using GPS and Google maps for mapping digital land certificates

Google maps API provides many features for manipulating maps and adding content to the map through a variety of services that allows to create a mapping application. This paper discusses the use of the Google maps API to connect the land site listed in the certificate of land with Google maps so that the location of the land can be determined accurately. The method used in this research is the research and development (R&D) method with dynamic system approach. The applications were made aiming to help the Land Officer and the public to know the location of the land digitally. The utilization of GPS technology is used to determine the coordinate points of the boundary in the form of latitude and longitude accordance with the existing situation in the field. The advantage of mapping digital land certificates is not only to know the land site, but also get the information contained in the map and make map-making is much cheaper because they do not need to use a lot of tools, maintenance, in addition to the storage media practically do not need more space. The digital land certificate mapping application resulted in this research can be used supplemental to the current official application, but the precision of this application is still the problem for this research, and still continuously determined.
