Distance, angle, bearing and area calculation, Metric | Imperial unit, open | save | share KML/CSV, Edit | Fit points, add points with Lat - Lng, GPS TRACKING, Notes Planimeter GPS Area Measure is a tool to measure distance, area, and perimeter on a map. You can measure manually or by GPS tracking. You can also check the bearing and geo-coordinates of your location and share them. Points can be labeled, saved, and shared in KML format. This measurement app is useful for outdoor activities and can be used as land surveyor by amateurs and professionals in various industries like sport, farming, landscaping, paving and construction, road building and repairing, real estate business, hiking and travel, fencing, lot building and planning, solar panel installation (roof area estimation), object mapping, lawn design, and many other where land area and distance/length calculations, land survey or maps are involved. # Features: • Accurate distance measurements • Metric and Imperial units (m, km, feet, yards, miles, ha, acres) • GPS accuracy settings (if GPS available) • Current location search • Delete selected/last/all points • Zoom to Fit-in and center points on a screen - quick points search • Add points by touch • Add the current location as a point • Option to center the point added • Option to show/hide lines • Preferences: location accuracy, tracking time interval, delete points confirmation, sound option for tracking • Separate units settings for distance, area, and perimeter. # Premium Features (Require Subscription): • Area calculation • Angle between lines • Bearings to and from the point • Forward and backward navigation through points by touch on the Info Panel • GPS coordinates of a point • Manage previously saved projects: open, save, share KML files • KML files created by Planimeter can be imported to GEarth and GMaps to view on a desktop • Send data by email: picture, coordinates as a text message, KML file • Save KML or TXT in local storage • Map/Satellite View • Zoom and Edit points • Text (address) search • Find the location by entering the Latitude and Longitude coordinates • Add points by entering geo-coordinates: Lat and Lng • Target Mode for accurate pin placement • Show current coordinates in Target Mode • Draw (Stylus) Mode • Notes Mode • Full-screen option • GPS TRACKING • Manual pin placement in GPS Tracking # The app has been successfully used in different areas: • outdoor activities: sports, golf (distance between two points or holes), bike tours, trail planning, travelling, quick path measure • garden and yard: landscape planning, grass cutting, lawn care and mowing, fencing, grass seeding. • agriculture, poultry, and farming: harvesting, fertilizing, crops (corn, wheat, maize, beet, etc.), planning and estimation, field area measure, paddocks and area fencing for cows, horses, chickens, rabbits, etc. • solar energy: area estimation for solar panels, flat roof area estimation • construction: land survey, road sealing, parking lot repairing • Forestry: objects and tree mapping, damage area estimation, measuring land area • other: pond size is measured; pole lines planning; movement tracking; get exact GPS coordinates of way-points; fence calculation; geocaching. # Learn more If you have any questions about Planimeter and its functionality, please find the How To Use Quick Guide on this page: https://www.vistechprojects.com/vistech-projects-downloads Video Demo: http://youtu.be/unjYbPCIYM0 http://youtu.be/QQMilHVD5e8 # Note: Continued use of GPS in the background can significantly reduce battery life.

Great app for asphalt estimation but needs a few improvements

I just used this app to double check my field measurements instead of having to drive 2 hours, and measure in the field for another 2 hours..saving me time and money. 2 things I would to see in the future1. It would be much easier and more accurate for my line of work if I could zoom in further on the satellite image. It’s fine if it’s pixelated, I just need more accurate points. 2. The pins need to be either translucent or simply small dots. The pins coming off the map effect covers up the image where I need to place my next point in some cases..thus causing loss of accuracy. Hopefully these changes can be made, because at this point I’m still looking for a better app. Thank you

Thank you very much for your feedback and suggestions!We will consider your request about zoom for accurate pin placement.Regarding your 2nd point, you can hide pins, lines, area by using short and LONG touch on Area and Distance buttons. Contact support@vistechprojects.com if have any other suggestions or need any help. Thank you for your support!

Great app

Overall what I’m looking for. Will work great for my lawn service business. The only option I really would like to see added is an address search function, that would help having to look up a property in another app to find lat & long, then back to this app.

I’m currently trying to divide up in thirds (approx 8.3 acres each) 25 acres along a partial of land that is road side on one side and a creek running diagonal across the back. I would like to be able to keep highlighted each 1/3 as I move and adjust the pins so that to keep track of the boundaries and find my layout to make the equal division of land. Makes sense ??

Good for walking field boundaries

I find this app works well in documenting field boundaries for agricultural purposes. It matches my handheld high-precision Garmin unit very well on reasonably clear days and does a faster job of documenting areas via screenshots. I like that it will export the raw data points too. On cloudy days with worse GPS signal, I still need to use the smaller handheld hardware unit.
