Key Features: - Computes the angles of any up to 5 vertices polygon - Obtain coordinates (longitude, latitude) from the Google Map - Create an infinite number of projects - Import simple DXF files - Email the data (longitude, latitude and altitude, and the coordinates of the points) - Export the coordinates in a DXF file and then email it - Zoom in/out on the map - Rotate the map (360 degrees) - Manually add points by giving the Longitude/Latitude of the point - Compute the area of any sub-region on the fly -------------------------------------------------- Calculating the area of a surface has never been easier! Whether you are a civil engineer, a topographer, a student or a person who likes to build things on his/her own, you will find iTopography an invaluable tool. iTopography is developed on the premise that a surface can be approximated as a polygon of finite number of lines and vertices (points). Therefore, iTopography can calculate the area of any surface, whether this surface is a garden, the living room, a field or even a geometrical shape for a homework class. iTopography uses the GPS device to obtain the longitude and latitude of the current position. In the case of a weak signal (e.g., inside the house), the user is asked to give the distance and angle between two adjacent points. In order for iTopography to compute the area of a surface, the user must move along the borders of the surface in a clockwise or counter-clockwise direction. When the user inserts a point, iTopography will connect the adjacent points with a straight line, draw the surface, and calculate the area of the surface along with its perimeter.

I purchased this app because it claimed I could manually enter points on a map to find the area. Doesn't work! Even when trying to use it to physically go to each point, no map is displayed. Don't bother with this unless major changes are made.

Developer Response
It does work, and we have a video on Youtube that demonstrates this.Thank you

I was trying to measure the area of an irregular polygon where I knew the lengths of the sides. Ideally, I wanted to draw this on a map and measure. It doesn't do that. You can drop pins where you think they belong, but you can't make precise measurements. Apparently Apple won't refund your money unless you spend hours hunting down the developer and getting it in writing the functionality you need doesn't exist. So if this is the functionality you need bypass the expense.

Developer Response
We never received any email from you. But, here we are, and we want to help you. It is not enough to know the length of the sides, as you also need to know the angle of a corner that two adjacent sides make. But, please contact us and we will assist you.Thank you

I find it extremely useful to be able to calculate the area of any sub-region. Thank you for the update

The app will not record more than one point...outside or inside. Also, feet isn't a functioning option, as opposed to meters.
