Geo Measure: Map Area/Distance
Measure Distance / Area on Map
Only for Mac
Free · In‑App Purchases
Mac
Free: measure any area or distance on a map, along roads too. Geo Measure Pro adds more measurements per file, PDF reports, KML and GPX, and tracking your position.
Any area. Any distance. On a map.
How many acres is that field? How far is the walk to the station? How much fence does the new lot need? Geo Measure answers on a map: click the corners, read the number. This is Geo Measure for Mac, on the Mac App Store since 2013: free now, and built on the same code as Geo Measure for iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple Vision Pro.
CLICK, DRAG, BEND
Click the map to drop points. Press and drag a pin to move it, with a loupe that shows exactly where it sits. Click the small dot on an edge to bend it. Click a pin to delete it. Every step is undoable, with ⌘Z.
ALONG ROADS AND PATHS
Measure the walk, the ride or the drive the way you would really go: pick Walking, Cycling or Driving and each click follows the paths and roads there, with Apple Maps' travel time. Drag a point and the route finds its way again; an area closes along the roads too.
EVERY POINT IN A TABLE
Open the points table under the map: coordinates, leg, bearing and running distance for every point. Type a coordinate in place, nudge a point by a meter or a foot, delete several at once, or copy them all to a spreadsheet.
LAYERS, AS IN A DRAWING APP
Keep several measurements in one file: the north field, the fence line, the sprinkler's reach. Each is a layer with a name and a color; show it, hide it, drag it above or below the others. Hidden layers stay out of the totals and the prints. Circles by radius, with diameter and circumference.
THE RIGHT NUMBER
Areas and distances are computed on the WGS84 ellipsoid, the way surveying software does, so a plot in Norway and a lot in Kenya are both right. Acres, hectares, ares, square feet, square yards, square meters, square miles, square kilometers and tsubo; kilometers, miles, meters, feet, yards and nautical miles. The outline warns you when it crosses itself.
EVERY POINT, WRITTEN DOWN
Coordinates in decimal degrees or degrees, minutes and seconds; the length and bearing of every leg; the perimeter. Type a coordinate to add a point exactly, or add the point where you are.
IN AND OUT
Export GeoJSON or a picture of the map, free. With Geo Measure Pro: KML for Google Earth, CSV for a spreadsheet, GPX for a GPS, and a PDF report with the map and every point, printed on Letter or A4 or saved. Import GeoJSON, KML and GPX.
MADE FOR THE MAC
Documents in windows, autosave and versions, a full menu bar: ⌘1, ⌘2, ⌘3 for a new area, distance or circle, ⌘0 to fit, ⌘F to search, ⌫ to delete a point, ⌘, for settings. Drop a file on the map to import it.
YOUR OLD DOCUMENTS OPEN
Every .measure document saved with the previous Geo Measure for Mac opens here, along with every Geo Measure file from iPhone and iPad and plain GeoJSON.
FREE, AND PRO
Geo Measure for Mac is free: one complete measurement per file, routing included. Geo Measure Pro is one purchase, no subscription, shared with your family on all your Macs: more measurements in the same file, printing and the PDF report, KML, GPX and CSV, and tracking your position as you walk. Bought Geo Measure for Mac before it became free? Pro is yours: Restore Purchases.
YOURS STAYS YOURS
No account, no server, no tracking. Your measurements are files on your Mac, and in your iCloud Drive if you put them there. Requires macOS 14 Sonoma or later. In English, German, French, Spanish and Japanese.
Want it on iPhone, iPad and Apple Vision Pro too? Geo Measure: Area & Distance is the same app for every Apple device, Mac included, free, with a Geo Measure Pro of its own.
