Description
This app lets you measure the point-to-point (great-circle) distance between two or more waypoints on a map or measure the surface area defined by a polygon having three or more points as its corners.
It uses online maps so it needs an internet connection.
Tap and hold to set a new waypoint, tap the options icon to read the manual or to open the settings view to change the map type or the measuring unit. You can choose between (kilo)meters, feet/yards/miles and nautical miles. The options menu also lets you choose to go to the Save/Restore view.
Tap the calculated measurement at the bottom of the map to switch between feet/yards/miles or meters/hectometers/kilometers.
The Pro version is exactly the same as the free version except that (by popular demand) it won't display any ads.
What’s New

Ratings and Reviews
Exactly what I needed
Works great for calculating longer “as the crow flies” distance. FANTASTIC for PRS (precision shooting rifle, long range match set up for many target placements at different ranges)
It also calculates hectares / acres to a very close degree. I own a couple of farms & acreages that I’ve tested it out on physically and it’s calculations are very close to the $$$$ land & soil map survey’s.
This could also be a huge help in the Forestry industry. Could be a huge time saver in estimating forest area regarding timber sales.
I can especially see this as a time saving tool for professional timber cruisers when one gets the question “what do you think it’s worth off the top of your head” when a property owner is in the “kicking tire” estimate mood. :)
It seems it may estimate an acreage as you may be able to ride the perimeter of an acreage pinning waypoints to estimate. And it may have that ability now as I have not played with it that much. I did see where it appeared (or soon be) able to do a radius. I need more time to work & play with it.
That said, it does exactly what and more than I was looking for in an app.
OK, enough, to long and wordy.
Thank you sir.
Use is all the time
Small file size, efficient, easy to use and you can store your work for later edits and use. I use it all the time to quickly determine acres and distances on forest properties. You foresters, give it a try. You'll like it. (Suggested by another forester)
Great measuring tool!
I use this app often to measure distances between places in a straight line, across water, to plot a hike, run or bike, swim. Google maps measures distances on roads but this covers point to point where there are no roads or no recognized roads.
