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!

Measure the size of a home lot, plat of land, crop circle, park, sports field, walking route, etc. Apple Maps™ are used. A careful measurement's error is about 1% to 3% for area and 0.1% to 0.5% for perimeter. Tap on the map to drop a pin. Undo a dropped pin with the "Undo" button. Press and hold a pin to move it. Search any address worldwide using Apple or Mapbox. If your primary geocoder fails, the app prompts an instant fallback to the alternative. Save and load your measurements with a table interface. Select between Hybrid, Hybrid Flyover, or Standard maps. There is current location access to measure your surroundings. Distance results in meters, kilometers, feet, yards, and miles all at once. Area results in square meters, feet, yards, kilometers, miles, and acres all at once. A circle mode is available, too, to easily measure crop circles or other circular objects. Tap in the center of the crop circle to drop a pin, and then on the edge; a circle will be rendered and the circumference and area displayed. Create a KML file with your measurements and open it in the Google Earth™ app or desktop browser version to view all your measurements at once. This also allows for Apple Maps to Google Maps comparisons.  Export all your measurements locally to your iOS device to save your work with a Map Measurement Tool-specific KML file. You can then import your measurements from this specific KML file.
