Measure distance, perimeter, and area on a map with ease. Add stand-alone points to mark locations and understand exactly what’s where. Capture photos with location, direction, altitude, and timestamp data. Share and export your projects seamlessly. Planimeter 55 is the ideal tool for measuring construction sites, roofs, lawns, fences, paving, pools, parking lots, fields, and paths. Or simply for placing stand-alone points on a map for better spatial understanding. Why choose Planimeter 55? • Precise control of your planned or measured areas. As you move the map, the app instantly displays the calculated area or distance, including the lengths of adjacent lines—even before you add a new point. • Native Google Maps support for enhanced zoom. Zoom in closer on satellite and hybrid maps for high-detail measurements. • Detailed point management. Assign individual colors to points and attach text notes, audio recordings, or images for comprehensive data collection. • Easy point editing. Move points directly on the main map screen (tap a point and select Move) or in the dedicated point editor. Before confirming, you’ll see the updated area, perimeter, and distance calculations in real time. • Organize your data. Show or hide shapes and point collections to focus on what’s important for your current project. • Flexible measurement units. Customize when distances display in feet or meters versus miles or kilometers. The same flexibility applies to area units. • Custom URL maps, offline maps, and map imports. Planimeter 55 includes Apple Maps and Google Maps by default. You can also add custom URL maps, download offline maps, or import your own maps (mbtiles, sqlitedb) created on your PC or Mac. • KMZ export and import. Transfer shapes and point collections, including images and audio notes, to continue your work across multiple devices. • Built-in camera tool. Attach geo-referenced photos to your points for a complete survey experience. What’s included in the Basic Version: • Create an unlimited number of points and temporary measurement shapes (areas or routes). • To measure a new shape, simply discard the previous one and start again. Unlock the Pro Pack Upgrade for even more: • Full support for Google Maps, custom URL maps, offline maps, and imported maps (with enhanced zoom for satellite and hybrid maps). • Save and manage multiple point collections and shapes. • Import and export individual points or entire shapes and collections. • Save and share map snapshots showing only the objects you’ve created—without UI buttons or tools. Support and Help Access Documentation or Support and Feedback via the MENU (hamburger icon) within the app. For direct support, email stan@blocoware.com.

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.
