Distance and area measurement

Map your routes and areas with flexible units and easy exports

Distance and area measurement focuses on one job and does it plainly: calculating how far you travel and the size of the space you cover during walks, runs, or drives. Before getting started, it needs access to your location, after which you can trace movement or mark out areas and see results in real time.

The tool supports both metric and imperial systems for distances and surface calculations, which makes it convenient if you switch between kilometers and miles or square meters and square feet. A map view can be toggled to provide visual context as you measure, helping you keep track of your path and boundaries.

Export options are a highlight. You can save a measured area to KML, then open it in mapping platforms like Google Earth or Google Maps for further viewing. If you plan to move your data to another device, exporting as a DAMEF file lets you bring those measurements along and view them there. The app is positioned for outdoor use, and it is most effective in larger spaces, roughly above 10,000 square feet. That means open parks, fields, and long routes are better candidates than tight indoor layouts or tiny plots.

Accuracy is the biggest caveat. Reports of inconsistent results make it less suitable for tasks that demand precision. For casual exploration, fitness outings, or getting a rough estimate of a property boundary, it can be useful, but you may want to cross-check readings or repeat a pass if a number looks off.

Overall, Distance and area measurement offers straightforward measuring tools, flexible units, and practical exports. Outdoor enthusiasts who value easy sharing and viewing will appreciate what it provides, as long as they can tolerate occasional unreliability.
