Ratings and Reviews
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 future
1. 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
Developer Response ,
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.
Multiple sections
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 ??
