This app lets you measure the point-to-point (great-circle) distance between two or more waypoints on a map or measure the surface area defined by a polygon having three or more points as its corners. It uses online maps so it needs an internet connection. Tap and hold to set a new waypoint, tap the options icon to read the manual or to open the settings view to change the map type or the measuring unit. You can choose between (kilo)meters, feet/yards/miles and nautical miles. The options menu also lets you choose to go to the Save/Restore view. Tap the calculated measurement at the bottom of the map to switch between feet/yards/miles or meters/hectometers/kilometers. The Pro version is exactly the same as the free version except that (by popular demand) it won't display any ads.

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!

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Measure Map at Free against Distance Measure Pro's $2.99. Measure Map also leads on ratings volume (5.3K vs 21) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months). Distance Measure Pro's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 4) and ads (none vs shown). On review sentiment and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Measure Map is free to download; Distance Measure Pro costs $2.99 up front. Measure Map sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per year. Distance Measure Pro asks for nothing beyond the download.
Measure Map holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Measure Map has 5.3K ratings behind it against 21, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 86% of Distance Measure Pro's written reviews are positive against 79% of Measure Map's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Distance Measure Pro ships an update every 2 months, Measure Map every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and October 29, 2026 respectively.
