Built for formal government process

Planning commissions, staff reports, public hearings, and formal record keeping require consistent, professional documentation. PlotPilot ensures every map packet meets the standards your process demands.

Studio

Custom layouts with built in checks

Build templates with drag and drop elements. Add your organization logo and disclaimer. Save layouts for consistent use across projects.

Before export, layout analysis catches common issues: margins too tight, elements overlapping, scale bar missing. Fix with one click.

Cartographic rules built in

Every layout is checked against a standard set of cartographic rules before export. Errors block export until resolved. Warnings and suggestions help improve quality.

  • Errors block export: elements off page, bleed zone violations
  • Warnings flag common issues: overlaps, small text, legend overflow
  • Suggestions improve quality: alignment, spacing, hierarchy

Templates

Start with built in layouts

Letter, tabloid, and ledger sizes. Portrait and landscape. Pick one and customize, or build from scratch.
