I didn't think about Google Earth.  I think we're getting closer to at
least a workaround.  I would still like some way to download a plot
map though with actual designs of each property line, similar to
Zillow.com.  Anyone know of an API or Web Service that allows access
to such a thing?

Mormon Hacker has a post about a similar idea, only it uses Google Earth, so
the data resides on your desktop computer.

I'm on an email list for ward clerks, and there's been quite a bit of
chatter about the following web site:
http://wardmap.theballfamily.org/intro.asp

I don't know if it is open source but I bring it up because it appears to be
a really cool application, but the same issues are being asked about on the
list that were asked about on our list awhile ago.  If one uses this
website, confidential data is being passed to this website that is not
affiliated with the church at all.  The website probably belongs to someone
well meaning who isn't storing the data for evil purposes, but there is no
guarantee.  Just curious if anyone knows if the church has any plans to make
such an application for the church website.  So far I've seen this same
application in two different forms.  Both have generated excitement.  Both
have also been cause for security concerns since they are not owned by the
church.  It would be nice if someone at the church would create such an
application for the church website and then there wouldn't be any need for
people writing their own.  If it weren't against my beliefs, I would even be
willing to bet that one or both of the authors of these apps would be
willing to donate the code to the church.
