Land location service · Nigeria

Know exactly where your land is
in 60 seconds.

Your survey plan has a list of numbers on it. On their own they mean nothing to a phone, a bank or a buyer. Photograph the page and Sentinel Gamma turns those numbers into a map pin you can tap, and two satellite pictures — one of the land itself, one showing what surrounds it.

Not sure? Leave this alone. We test all nine Nigerian grids against every point and keep the ones that land inside the country — then show you where each one puts your land so you can pick. The datum is usually printed in the NOTE box or near the bottom of the plan — for example “MINNA DATUM” or “CLARKE 1880” (both mean Minna), or “WGS 84”. If only a UTM zone is printed, leave this on “Work it out for me”.
Only matters if your plan has no column headings. If it does, we follow them — including X for easting and Y for northing, the way Nigerian plans label them.
Reads the northing first instead of the easting. If your plot lands somewhere obviously wrong, this is usually why — and we say so on the map when it happens.
For surveyors: datum transformation parameters

Geocentric translation from Minna (Clarke 1880 RGS) to WGS 84. Defaults are the published NIMA values for Nigeria. Change them only if your organisation has adopted its own set — most people should leave this closed.

Remember: this is a location aid, not a survey — verify against a known control point before relying on it in the field.

Why this is not just typing numbers into Google

Your plan and your phone speak different languages

Type the numbers from a Nigerian survey plan straight into Google Maps and you will land in the wrong place, sometimes hundreds of kilometres away. The plan measures from a reference point fixed in Nigeria decades ago; your phone measures from the centre of the Earth. Three steps stand between them.

STEP ONE

Off the flat grid

Your plan measures in metres across a flat sheet. The Earth is not flat, so those metres are unwrapped back into angles — a latitude and longitude, though still the old Nigerian ones.

Inverse Transverse Mercator on the belt or UTM zone

STEP TWO

Move to the world's reference

Nigeria's survey system and the global one disagree about where the centre of the Earth is, by about 180 metres. This step corrects for that. Skip it and your land sits in the wrong field.

STEP THREE

Back onto the map

The corrected position is read out as the latitude and longitude your phone understands, then used to build your pin and pull the satellite picture.
