How do I view the contours in Stash?

    Are you familiar with contour lines? Have you heard about it and what it really is? In the property world, a contour is an outline of a mass of land. Contour lines are critical when it comes to deciding a particular property to be developed and serves as a requirement. The location itself must be considered and its elevation as this is part of the planning and development aspect in developing a certain property. In this way, you can determine if the property is located in a cliff, a flat area, steep, or does have slopes. You can also do some modifications needed, if necessary. Reviewing this is very helpful especially to those countless professions who use them like the land surveyors, foresters, engineers, miners, geologists, hunters, to name a few. 

    The long wait is over! Because we want our users to get more of what they’ve paid for and get the best experience out of Stash, we have now added the Contour mapping tool to make your property search worthwhile. This is just one of the few feature advancements we have enlisted for our users that you’ve been waiting for. We do listen to them because we know that your feedback does really matter. So, let’s go ahead and check this out.
