Location plan generator.

It lets people find the plot: it shows where it is, the orientation, the access roads with their names and landmarks. It is one of the documents in permit applications (building, plot division, subdivision). Our guide Cadastral plan, title plan, topographic plan explains how it differs from other plans.

It depends on the application. For a plot division, the location plan must be drawn up by a licensed surveyor (ingénieur géomètre-topographe), at 1:2,000 or 1:5,000, and tied to the geodetic network where applicable: this PDF is not enough. For a building permit, the list of documents includes a location plan without saying who must draw it up: ask the municipality or the urban agency what they accept. See the guides Building permit and Creating a subdivision (Law No. 34-21).

In town, 1:2,000 shows the streets and blocks around the plot; 1:5,000 places the neighbourhood. In the countryside, 1:10,000 or 1:25,000 shows the tracks, douars and roads to get there. The dashed frame on the map shows what the sheet will cover before you even generate the PDF.

In the print dialog, choose “actual size” or “100%” and turn off “fit to page”. Then measure the scale bar with a ruler: its exact length is stated in the title block (for example 50 mm for 100 m at 1:2,000). The PDF has 10 mm margins, which common printers respect.

The plan is aligned with the Lambert grid, like official plans. True north differs from grid north by a small angle, the meridian convergence, which depends on longitude: a few tenths of a degree around Fès, up to about 2° towards Oujda or Agadir. The arrow and the title block show this angle.

The plan is computed and built in your browser; the firm receives nothing. Two services of the OpenStreetMap Foundation are used, however: the tile server, which supplies the map images (it receives your IP address and the area displayed), and Nominatim, which receives the text of an address search when you run it. So do not type anyone's name there. The owner's name never leaves your device. Your last entries (except that name) stay in this browser until you click “Clear my entries”.

OpenStreetMap is a collaborative map: its coverage varies from one area to another, especially in rural areas. You can report a mistake with the link below the map. For a plan that must be authoritative, only a survey on the ground will do.

The tool works in Arabic and Darija: the Arabic texts of the title block are inserted into the PDF as sharp images to guarantee the letter shapes and reading direction. They print correctly but cannot be selected or copied in the PDF; figures and coordinates remain text.
