Quick overview
GPS Measure — Area Length is a complimentary iPhone application built by Arthur Eduardo Skaetta Alvarez Desenvolvimento de Software LTDA. Listed under Business & Productivity, the app uses satellite imagery to let users obtain distances and area calculations without needing a physical tape measure.
Measuring workflow
To get a measurement, place markers directly on the map: tap to add points and keep adding them to trace a path or outline a parcel. The app computes the linear distance between points and the surface area enclosed by the polygon you form. An address lookup is included so you can jump straight to a location and begin taking measurements.
Key capabilities
- Compatible with all iOS devices for on-the-go measuring
- Place map markers quickly by tapping to build routes or boundaries
- Choose from a variety of measurement units (for example, square meters or square feet)
- Save your projects so previous measurements are available later
- Built-in address search to find spots fast
- Designed to be approachable for both field professionals and casual users
Unit selection and record keeping
The app supports multiple unit systems, allowing you to view results in units that fit your needs. Measurements can be stored within the app, letting you keep a history of surveyed areas and distances for future reference or reporting.
Who benefits from this app
Whether you’re working on a construction estimate, mapping a garden, planning a property layout, or simply curious about an area’s dimensions, GPS Measure provides a straightforward solution for accurate spatial measurements.
