What NaaPI Does
NaaPI is a free Android app from M&S Developers designed to simplify land and plot measurement in Nepal. You can measure a parcel yourself using only a tape measure and this app. It supports the measurement units commonly used around the Kathmandu Valley and is tailored for local land-measurement practices.
Main Capabilities
- Geo-plotting tools for drawing directly on maps and calculating land area from mapped boundaries
- A conventional plotter for sketching plots and obtaining area measurements
- Built-in blueprint visualization for layout and planning needs
- Unit conversion utilities for both lengths and areas
- Arithmetic operations for areas (add, subtract, multiply, divide)
- Perimeter calculation and inclusion when needed
- Project saving so you can return to previous measurements
- Undo and edit controls for correcting mistakes without restarting
- An in-app marketplace to list or browse plots for sale
Drawing and Mapping Features
The app provides two complementary drawing modes: a map-based geo-plotter for using GPS and map context, and a manual plotter for hand-drawn lot outlines. Both can compute areas automatically and export or display a blueprint-style view for planning and documentation.
Project Management and Transactions
Saved projects let you store measurements and revisit them later. Editing and undo options let you refine sketches without losing prior work. When you want to buy or sell land, the built-in marketplace gives a simple way to publish or search plot listings directly from the app.
Personalization and Ease of Use
NaaPI includes multiple configurable settings so you can adapt the interface and measurement formats to your preferences. The layout and workflows are designed to be approachable for non-experts, making it practical for homeowners, small landowners, and local survey tasks.
Recommended Alternative
Mero Khet (free) is a commonly suggested substitute if you’d like to try another app with similar land-measurement features. It offers comparable tools for area measurement and plot management.
