A boundary for discovery.
Understand what an Orbitty outline tells you, where its information comes from and which checks need an official source.
What the outline means.
A public boundary on Orbitty is an approximate shape supplied through the listing process. It helps you see where a parcel may sit in relation to roads, terrain and nearby places. It is not a cadastral survey, legal title boundary or proof of ownership.
A map-calculated area is derived from that drawn shape. Its apparent precision does not make the underlying boundary exact. A seller-declared area may differ and remains separately labelled.
Why the map and the ground may differ.
Satellite and aerial imagery are third-party context. Capture dates, resolution, perspective, terrain and the seller’s drawing can all affect what appears on screen. A fence, track or field edge does not necessarily follow the legal boundary.
The public map is for orientation. Do not use it to resolve a boundary dispute, place a structure, calculate a legal entitlement or establish an access right.
Which source to use for a serious decision.
Ask the seller for official parcel identifiers and the relevant title and survey records. Check them with the competent registry, cadastral authority, licensed surveyor or local legal adviser. Requirements and the meaning of official plans differ by jurisdiction.
Where uncertainty remains, make it part of your due diligence before any commitment. Do not infer purchase eligibility or development rights from a visible listing.
If an outline concerns you.
Use Report a concern on the listing for a boundary, location or privacy problem. Give the public reference and a clear explanation. Avoid sending sensitive documents through public listing text or ordinary enquiry messages; support can explain a suitable next step.
