Marea turns any map into a precise area and distance calculator. Measure fields, plots, rooftops, lawns and lakes — anything you can see from above — in seconds. FOUR WAYS TO MEASURE - Tap to drop pins around a region and get its area instantly. - Draw a freeform shape with your finger and Marea traces the outline. - Walk the perimeter and GPS drops pins automatically as you go. - Auto-detect plots — tap to find buildings, fields and parks already on the map and turn one into a measurement in a single tap. RESULTS IN EVERY UNIT Area in square meters, square feet, acres, hectares, square kilometers and square miles — plus the distance between every point. TRACTOR MODE Turn your phone into a field-coverage guide. Set your implement width and speed, then drive: Marea records each pass, draws your covered area live, and tracks total distance and worked acreage. Pause, resume and save passes. GRID OVERLAY Drop a measured grid over any plot to plan rows, sections or spacing — horizontal, vertical or both, with the spacing, direction and color up to you. PROJECT AN AREA Pin a saved plot to the centre of the screen at its real size, then pan and rotate around it to plan, compare or align on the ground. ORGANIZE & ESTIMATE - Save your areas and revisit them anytime - Drop labeled markers on the points that matter - Keep a to-do list for every area - Add notes and attach photos - Estimate prices by multiplying any rate by the measured area SHARE ANYWHERE Send a web link to any saved area — anyone can open it in a browser to see the polygon, its size and details. You can also export a KML file or share a map image or PDF. BUILT FOR THE FIELD AND THE JOB SITE Made for farmers, agronomists, roofers, pavers, landscapers, surveyors and real-estate pros: - Estimate roofing, asphalt, paving, turf and seeding quantities - Check property lines, lot sizes and parcels - Plan plots, gardens and farmland Subscription terms: - The subscription auto-renews at the end of each term. - Payment will be charged to iTunes Account at confirmation of purchase. - The subscription automatically renews unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24-hours before the end of the current period. - Account will be charged for renewal within 24-hours prior to the end of the current period. - You may manage your subscription and turn off auto-renewal by going to your Account Settings after purchase.

Using the Coordinator app, you can collect coordinate data from land in any coordinate system you choose, from predefined systems. You can collect GPS coordinates. You can use the app as a GPS tracker. You can view the coordinate data on the map. You can search by longitude/latitude. You can convert an existing coordinate into another coordinate system. You can display circumference and area measurements for some coordinates by opening the file created earlier. Also, you can measure distances and areas for coordinates marked on the map manually. You can display a KML file on the map. The coordinator app contains several useful tools for people interested in coordinates, maps, and geographic information systems (GIS). The coordinator offers Cloud Database Functions (creating points, lines & polygons; sharing your layers with teammates; working simultaneously with teammates; working offline and synchronizing; etc.), exporting to KML & Excel files, retrieving the elevation value of points, and so on. You can create your layers and share those layers with your teammates. You can instantly see the data created by other friends on the map. In addition to longitude/latitude, subscribers can find the altitude of a point on the map. Subscribers can use the Coordinator Web app. So you can use the cloud database features of the Coordinator app on your computer's web page and monitor the data instantly. You can view/track and edit cloud database data on the web page. In this way, you can instantly monitor data movements in the mobile app in the field and in the web browser on your computer. The coordinate systems of the countries where the app is most downloaded are added to the app. Current list of countries and their coordinate systems defined in this app: World - GPS(WGS 84) World - WGS 84 - 6 UTM United States - "NAD 1983 HARN State Plane Coordinate Systems(meters & feet)" and "Military Grid Reference System (MGRS)" Algeria - "Nord Sahara 1959 / UTM 6 " Azerbaijan - "Pulkovo 1942 / Gauss-Kruger 3 " and "Pulkovo 1942 / CS63" Bulgaria - "Pulkovo 1942(58) GK 6 " Germany - "DHDN/3 GK" and "ETRS89 UTM 6" India - "Kalianpur 1975 / India" and "Kalianpur 1975 / UTM 6" Indonesia - "Indonesia 1974 UTM 6" and "DGN 1995 Indonesia TM3" Iran - "ED50(ED77) / UTM 6" Iraq - "Nahrwan 1967 / UTM 6", "ED50 / Iraq National Grid", and "Karbala 1979 / UTM 6" Israel - "Palestine 1923/Palest.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Map Area Calculator at 4.5 against GPS Coordinates & Map Tools's 2.7. Map Area Calculator also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (4.7K vs 6). GPS Coordinates & Map Tools's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 76%). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. Map Area Calculator sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and GPS Coordinates & Map Tools sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Map Area Calculator holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 2.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Map Area Calculator has 4.7K ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 76% of Map Area Calculator's written reviews are positive against 100% of GPS Coordinates & Map Tools's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Map Area Calculator ships an update every 5 weeks, GPS Coordinates & Map Tools every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and August 28, 2026 respectively.
