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!
GridGrabber

Coordinates rarely arrive ready to use. They come buried in messages, field notes, reports and map links — mixed with names, times, instructions and other text. GridGrabber turns that information into a simple workflow: Paste → Extract → Check → Use. Paste the text as you received it. GridGrabber finds supported coordinates and brings the results together in one place — without making you clean up or retype the message first. Usable results are ready to copy, open in a map app or export as KML or GPX. If something is incomplete or ambiguous, GridGrabber keeps that uncertainty visible so you can check it before relying on it. GridGrabber supports MGRS, UTM, latitude/longitude and other common coordinate formats, as well as supported Apple Maps, Google Maps and Waze links. Core coordinate processing works offline and on your device. There is no account, analytics or activity history. Network access is only used when a supported map link needs external resolution and you choose to continue. GridGrabber doesn’t replace your map, navigation or reporting tools. It handles the step between receiving location information and using it. Less retyping. Less format juggling. Fewer avoidable mistakes.
