Integrating spatial data into GPS devise 
Since this study is software intensive which involve so 
many conversion and data editing to make the system fully 
fictional during locating land parcel software is required [4].
At this stage the data format which is in GPX format needed to 
be converted into IMG format, then it could be merged with the 
existing based map in Portable GPS as shown in Figure 6. The 
purpose of this conversion is to avoid the data being display in 
a track form. With the spatial data in IMG format it will be 
displayed as a continuously line not in a track form. This 
process can be done using GPSmapedit software. This program 
is the most commonly referenced and recommended editor for 
creating map files that can be compiled into Garmin-ready .img 
files [5]. And with good reason – it’s easily the most 
comprehensive and full-featured Garmin map editor around, 
even in the limited-feature evaluation version. There is 
possibility to load or import vector data in a wide variety of 
common vector formats like: 
• GPs eXchange (.gpx) 
• Shapefile (.shp) 
• Garmin MapSource formats (.mps, .gdb) 
• Magellan MapSend files (.trk, .wpt) 
• Polish map files (.mp) 
• Garmin .img map files (program can also export these 
to .mp format) 
• OziExplorer vector formats (also can load .map image 
files for use as a drawing background) 
• PCX5 (.rte, .trk, .wpt)

VII. Portable GPS used for finding Lot Parcel
 
As an early preparation to locate land parcel the target 
location of land parcel must be first determine before using the 
system to ease for the finding process and evaluate the 
capability of the system. Figure 7 shows the location of lot 504 
by using Portable GPS in finding the location. The PDUK data 
is display completely with its coordinate that is in WGS 84 
format and together with bearing and distance of the lot parcel. 
The information of other nearest POI also available in the 
newly develop portable GPS database.

Conclusion
This research presents an initial framework of supportive 
tools for locating land parcel in cadastral surveying work. 
Three core technologies including computers, GPS, and GIS, 
are utilized to provide such tools with objectives of improving 
travelling time, locating the boundary mark, verification of lot 
number of cadastral surveying process. 
A few types of software found to be which suitable for 
each of process such as Global Mapper that used to change the 
projection and Map Source that used to create the POI. The 
navigation system to locate boundary mark is now capable to 
explore and the integration of PDUK data and the GPS 
navigation system. The field test also had conducted after 
producing the system and from this field test, it shown the 
portable GPS can help to find the boundary mark faster.
The process of downloading PDUK into portable GPS 
does not take a lot of time. The processes become easier with 
the used of many type of softwares such as Map Info, Global 
Mapper, POI Loader and others. GPS now can also add the 
PDUK besides usual map. Before this user only navigate the 
map but now the lot parcel can be navigate too. The use of this 
portable GPS also can change the system work of cadastral to 
become more modern. The surveyor is now can used the better 
technology in their work compared to use the conventional 
method. Incorporating PDUK file in GPS not only benefit the 
surveyors but also other users can locate boundary mark.
