Land Measure features

A field measuring tool for farmers, surveyors, real-estate agents, landscapers and fencing or construction crews. Here is everything it does.

Measure

Four ways to put a boundary on the map

  • Tap the map. Place corners on satellite imagery with a crosshair and a + button, or tap directly. Area and perimeter update with every point.
  • Walk with GPS. Record the boundary as you walk it, with live GPS accuracy and the distance back to your starting point.
  • Trace freehand. Draw around a field edge with your finger.
  • Type coordinates. Enter corners in decimal degrees, decimal minutes or degrees-minutes-seconds, with N/S/E/W or signs.
  • Area polygons, distance lines and GPS tracks. Drag points to adjust them, with undo and redo.

GPS walk

Recording that keeps going in your pocket

  • Start, pause, resume and stop from the app or from the notification.
  • Keeps recording with the screen off, with a visible notification the whole time.
  • Paused stretches of a GPS track stay separate, so the distance never jumps across a gap.
  • Captured points are kept even if your phone closes the app; you restart the recording to carry on.
  • Stale fixes are skipped, not recorded. With Pro, average GPS fixes over 5, 10 or 30 seconds at a corner.

Library

Every field, organized

  • Unlimited saved measurements, each with notes, tags and photos.
  • Projects to group fields (3 free, unlimited with Pro) and favorites for the ones you open often.
  • Search and sort by date, name, area or distance; select several to see their total area and distance.
  • Lock a measurement to protect it from edits. Deleted items wait 30 days in Trash.
  • Statistics across your whole library.

  • Distance in meters, kilometers, feet, yards and miles.
  • Length and bearing of every side.

Import & export

Works with the files you already have

  • Import KML, KMZ, GeoJSON, GPX and CSV, with a preview to pick shapes and a project first.
  • Open supported files straight from your file manager or the Share menu.
  • Export KML and CSV for free. Pro adds GPX, KMZ, GeoJSON, PDF reports and PNG boundary diagrams — drawn north-up, no map tiles needed — and batch export.
  • On Android, a free user can watch a short ad to export one measurement once in a Pro format.
  • Full backups including photos, ready to restore on a new phone.
Export and share options: quick share, KML, GeoJSON, CSV, PDF report, KMZ

Field tools

The extras a field job needs

  • Coordinate converter: decimal degrees, degrees and decimal minutes, DMS.
  • Project a point by distance and true bearing, then open it as a map measurement.
  • Unit converter for area and length.
  • With Pro: the fence and boundary estimator — post count, material length and cost at your own rate. Corners of a walked boundary are found automatically.

Built for the field

Works without a signal

GPS recording, coordinate entry and saved measurements work offline. Satellite map tiles need a data connection.

No account, data on your device

No sign-up. Measurements and photos stay on your phone. Diagnostics are off unless you turn them on.

25 languages

English, Arabic, Bengali, Chinese (Simplified and Traditional), Czech, Dutch, French, German, Greek, Hindi, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Malay, Polish, Portuguese (Brazil), Romanian, Russian, Spanish, Thai, Turkish, Ukrainian and Vietnamese.

Phones, tablets and foldables

Light and dark themes, layouts that adapt to large text, and two-pane layouts on tablets and unfolded foldables.

Results use a spherical-Earth model and are meant for practical estimates. For legal boundaries, deeds or permits, consult a licensed surveyor.
