Free Map Tools is a collection of tools based on maps. These tools allow you to perform various functions for a wide range of applications. You can measure distances and areas. You can also send or share the map as an image to indicate the area, route or radius you have plotted. The Radius Around Point tool lets you plot a distance radius on a map. You specify the centre point, the radius and other features such as colour. You can then visualise the radius to see the area covered. The Measure Distance tool lets you plot a route on a map and find out the distance covered in various units. It also uses your GPS sensor to plot the route automatically. The Area Calculator Tool lets you draw an area on the map and find the measurement of the area enclosed. The Find How Far I Can Travel tool will show how far you can drive or walk within a set time. For example, how far can I get if I drive for 60 minutes from my current location. How Far is it Between allows you to find the road and crow-flies distance between 2 addresses. It also shows both routes on the map. The Map Tunnelling Tool allows you to find out where on the globe your antipodal point is. You can also find the antipode of any custom location. Country Specific Tools ———————————————- For the following countries: ∙USA ∙UK You can use the following tools: ∙The zip/postcodes found inside a radius ∙The distance between two zip/postcodes

Measure Map is an application that supports a distance calculator to find out the distance between two or more points anywhere on the earth. In other words, the distance between A and B. Click once on the map to place the first marker, and then click again to position the second marker. The distance between the points will then be displayed. You can also build up a series of locations to find the total distance. A minimum of two markers are required to measure distance and a minimum of three markers to measure area. - Distance results will be output in meters, kilometers, nautical miles, feet, miles, and yards. - Area will be output in meters², kilometers², feet², nmi², yards² and acres. - Save and view measurement sessions - Import list coordinates to draw measurements on the map. - Import and export KML, KMZ, and CSV files. - Edit coordinates of measurement and Share them with other devices. + Support to quick change map type: normal, satellite, terrain, hybrid + Support UTM, MGRS, and VN-2000 coordinates. + Support coordinates at your position - The application uses some icons and designs on the website: # icons8.com # freepik.com # clipartbro.com # Pixeden.com # logo reference from alpha.wallhaven.cc/wallpaper/379827 - The Application use third party open source from website: # github.com/scalessec/Toast-Swift # github.com/Alamofire/Alamofire # github.com/volkerv/GeoCoordinateConverter # github.com/AssistoLab/DropDown # github.com/yukiasai/Gecco tutorial # github.com/jonkykong/SideMenu # github.com/groue/GRDB.swift # github.com/CosmicMind/Material # github.com/hackiftekhar/IQKeyboardManager # github.com/tobihagemann/THLabel # github.com/bizz84/SwiftyStoreKit # github.com/Orderella/PopupDialog # material.io/tools/icons/ --- Thank you for using my app!
