New mobile app available for County Land Explorer
Just in time for hunting season, a new mobile app is available for the popular St. Louis County Land Explorer. The Land Explorer is an interactive map application that has proven popular for business, personal and recreational uses. It combines information from several County databases to provide the most up-to-date property details. The Land Explorer allows users to view and search land records data by address, parcel identification number (PIN) and other methods.
Since its launch in 2013, the St. Louis County Land Explorer (stlouiscountymn.gov/explorer) has been one of the most used features on the County’s website. The mobile app version of the County Land Explorer is free, and is available for anyone with an iOS (Apple), or Android smart phone or tablet. To download the new app, people should go to the appropriate app store for their device and search for “Explorer for ArcGIS” by Esri. Links to download the apps, connecting county data to the app, along with helpful documentation are also available on the Maps tab of the county’s website: stlouiscountymn.gov
“The County Land Explorer has been extremely helpful to surveyors, engineers, appraisers, real estate agents, and a lot of other professionals, as well as the general public,” said David Yapel, GIS Manager of Planning and Community Development. “With the mobile app, our land records are available in the field, which makes it useful to an even broader audience – hunters are just one example.”
A previous app, "ArcGIS," was discontinued in August. While it still works for anyone who downloaded it, it is no longer being updated, and has been replaced by the "Explorer for ArcGIS" app.
