Measure Map Pro lets you quickly and easily measure multiple distances, perimeters and areas with laser sharp precision!. Use it for small areas or large, then share with coworkers. Click “...More” to learn why you should download this App today! Calculate surface areas, buildings, plots, floors, forest areas or dimensions for fencing, sports tours, trips or anything you need for field work without having to go to the spot to take measurements. Only one finger to calculate with astonishing accuracy all these measurements over satellite images. That’s what Measure Map Pro is for, to put a powerful, portable measuring tool right in the palm of your hand. Your iPhone, iPod touch or iPad can now provide you with totally precise measurements of any distance, from as small as one tenth of a meter to as big as thousands of kilometers or miles, even taking the curvature of the earth’s surface into account when measuring. It does all that, fast and effortlessly. Just one "magic" button for all the operations to easily place points without loosing it's professional accuracy. Some impressive features you get in Measure Map Pro (some of them via in-app purchase): * Autosave * Attractive, smooth, easy navigation and use * For iPhone and iPad * Apple or G00GLE Maps with extra zoom level. * Displays Maps View: Map, Satellite, Hybrid and Terrain. * Undo and redo operations as needed * AirPrint and iCloud support * More maps with extra zoom level through in-app purchase: Bing, Here, and ArcGIS. And Open Street, Open Cycle, World Street and more in the future * Operations: Add, delete intermediate pins, insert between pins, move pins, get info. * Circles and rectangles * Multiple areas and routes on screen * Display of altitude above sea level, azimuth and angle * Calculates azimuth or bearing * Search for current location, text (villages, places of interest, etc.) * Length units: meters, kilometers, feet, yards, miles, nautical miles, ken, ri, bù, lǐ * Surface units: square meters and kilometers, ares, hectares, square foot, square yards, square miles, acres, fanegas (Valencian, Castilian or Colombian), tsubo, bu, so, lí, mǔ * Intermediate distances between pins can be displayed * Attach pictures to points * Ability to select color and thickness of the perimeter line. * Ability to select the color and transparency of the selected area. * Working format: Measure Map, KMZ, KML (G00GLE Earth), CSV (Excel), Autocad (DXF), Shape (SHP), GPX, Image (PNG) and PDF * Export and import of surfaces and routes via e-mail, iTunes, AirDrop and Dropbox. * Save to photo album * Download surfaces and routes from the Internet. * Calculates multiple areas and routes simultaneously * Ability to create inner polygons as "holes". * Drawing of shapes: circle and rectangle. * More maps with extra zoom level through in-app purchase * Calculates azimuth or bearing * Attach pictures to points * Displays altitude above sea level, azimuth and angle. * Imports KML, KMZ and GPX format files besides exporting them. * Track mode: drops pins on current GPS position at regular intervals. (Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life) * Coordinate system DM * Apple Pencil drawing mode (with iPad Pro) * Image layers If precise measurements are important to you, this is the app you need. You won’t find one that is better, more accurate and easier to use.

Measure any surface area with your iPhone camera (AR with LiDAR) or GPS — indoors or outdoors, small rooms or large fields. SurfacePro gives you professional area, perimeter, and terrain readings in seconds. TWO WAYS TO MEASURE AR Mode — Point your camera at any surface, tap to place points, and close the shape. Get instant area and perimeter. Works on floors, walls, yards, patios, and roofs. Enhanced accuracy with LiDAR, but works on any iPhone. GPS Mode — Two input methods: • Live GPS — Walk the perimeter and drop pins at each corner. See your polygon on a satellite map with real-time area, slope, and elevation. • Pin Placement — Tap anywhere on the satellite map to place points. Drag pins to fine-tune with a magnifier loupe for pixel-perfect positioning. Ideal for remote areas or planning from your desk. MEASURE MULTIPLE SURFACES Add multiple polygons in a single session. Completed shapes stay visible on the map while you measure the next one. Get distance analysis between polygons — perfect for calculating gaps, setbacks, or spacing. FEATURES - Real-time area and perimeter as you build your shape - Up to 100 measurement points per polygon - Distance labels between GPS points on the map - Point counter showing current vs. maximum points - Metric (m², cm) and Imperial (ft², in) units - GPS area in m², hectares, or acres - Save unlimited measurements with location tagging - Search, filter by mode, and view all saves on a map - Adjustable polygon opacity and line styles (solid, dashed, dotted) - Organise measurements into folders - Annotate diagrams resulting from AR or GPS measurements and export in PDF PROFESSIONAL EXPORT - PDF reports with shape diagrams, compass indicator, dimensions, and optional AR screenshots - GPS reports include satellite map overlay showing your polygons - KML files for Google Earth and GIS software - GPX files for mapping applications - CSV export with point coordinates and accuracy data - Share GPS measurements as map links DIAGRAM ANNOTATIONS Add text labels, arrows, circles, rectangles, and hatch fill patterns to your measurement diagrams. Move, resize, and rotate any annotation with full color customization and 30-level undo. GPS TERRAIN ANALYSIS - Min/max altitude and elevation change - Average and maximum slope (degrees and percent) - Real-time GPS accuracy monitoring - Barometric altitude for precise elevation data WORKS WITHOUT LIDAR SurfacePro uses a 3-layer accuracy system: LiDAR mesh detection, plane geometry, and estimated planes. Any iPhone with ARKit can measure surfaces — LiDAR simply gives better results on uneven terrain. PRIVACY FIRST All data stays on your device. No accounts, no analytics, no tracking, no ads. Your measurements never leave your phone. FREE TO TRY, PRO TO UNLOCK Start free with 8 points and 3 saves. Upgrade once — no subscription, no recurring fees. Unlock more points, unlimited saves, multi-polygon, all export formats, annotations, folders, distance analysis, and share links. Buy once, own it forever.
