Have just finished a new map that's very different from my other maps. This has been in the works for several years now, I originally downloaded the tax parcel data in 2014 and developed my own system for combining the shapefiles and Microsoft Access database files to create a map. This project has been on hold since then, but when Guy recently said getting parcel data for the whole pines was his top priority, I decided it was time to finally make the map. 
I needed to limit the size due to the huge amount of data, so I used the state's definition of the legislative boundaries of the pinelands. I know we could get into another discussion of pinelands boundaries, but the point is that I needed to limit the size of this map so I chose the pinelands boundaries according to the state.
There are about 285,000 parcels in this map. Interesting to note that about 230,000 of them are one acre or less.
As discussed in another thread, I'm now offering my maps in a universal format that works on Windows, Macintosh and Linux computers. You will need to install a free open source program called Mobile Atlas Creator (MOBAC) to open the map file. A full tutorial to get you up and running is included with the map download.
After installing, you can view the map in MOBAC but you can also choose any portion of it for export. MOBAC can export maps for many different iOS and Android apps, dedicated handheld GPS units and computer programs like Google Earth.
The installation file is uploading right now, and if my questionable Verizon DSL connection holds up all night, it should be ready for download tomorrow morning and I'll post a link then. It's a 4gb file and based on feedback from another map it could take anywhere from 15 minutes on FIOS to a couple hours on cable to download. In the meantime, here are some screenshots.
Zooming all the way out you will see the different townships of the pines
As you zoom closer you'll see actual parcels with labels on the larger ones
Zooming all the way in to level 17 will show more parcel detail at a resolution of 3 feet per pixel which is roughly equivalent to a map scale of 1:4250.
Click on the image below to see a full size screenshot. The whole map has more than 6,000 buildings in select locations from my personal dataset - another ongoing project of mine.
I was surprised to find about 25,000 small parcels in the Chatsworth/Woodland area - they were planning quite a city there at one time!
I will post a download link in the morning - enjoy!
