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.
