What goes on the stamp
The Modern template in Fixlens prints the details a land photo usually needs:
- Survey, Khasra, Khata or Patta number
- Plot area with its unit
- Facing direction from the compass, with the Vastu zone
- Your name and a note, such as which boundary stone this is
- GPS coordinates with accuracy, date and time, and a map
Step by step
- Swipe to the Modern template on the camera screen.
- Enter the survey number and area in stamp settings and pick the unit.
- Walk the boundary. Photograph each corner or boundary stone and note it, for example "Stone B2, north-east corner".
- Take one overview from the access road showing the plot and its surroundings.

Tips for boundary photos
- Stand right at the stone so the coordinates describe that point, not where you parked.
- Let the GPS accuracy settle. Under trees, wait a little longer.
- Use degrees, minutes and seconds if your drawings use that format.
Fixlens records what you enter and what your phone's GPS reports. It is not a substitute for a licensed survey or official land records.
