Quick and accurate land measurement on your mobile phone. Kijuu Maps makes it easy to map property boundaries, trails, and land areas in the field — no special equipment needed. Key Features • Draw & Measure Draw shapes or routes by placing markers on the map. Enter precise distances from a tape or laser tool for greater accuracy. • Trace Curves Trace curved boundaries or features with tools for smoothing and curve-fitting. Includes weighted averaging, spline interpolation, and hull fitting. • Walk & Track with GPS Walk the perimeter of a property or trail to automatically record GPS coordinates and calculate area, perimeter, and elevation range. • Annotate Locations Add custom notes and labels to any location on the map. • Flexible Units Work in metric or imperial units — meters, feet, acres, hectares, and more. Includes a built-in unit converter. • Import, Export & Share Import KML, GPX, or GeoJSON files. Export your data for sharing or use in GIS tools and other apps.
