Read full descriptionHide full description
Measure and compare anything on a map with precision tools designed for speed and accuracy. MEASURE WITH CONFIDENCE Place points exactly where they belong using the precision crosshair. Draw lines to measure distances, circles for radius calculations, and custom polygons to calculate surface areas. Every measurement is accurate down to the details. PICK UP AND PLACE AREAS β ANYWHERE Turn measurements into movable objects. Press and hold any drawn area to lift it, then drag a copy to a new location. Drop it elsewhere on the same map β or onto a second map showing a completely different place in the world. Instantly see if a park fits inside a city block, compare property sizes across continents, or test how a landmark would scale somewhere else. No other map app lets you move measured areas this freely. SIDE-BY-SIDE COMPARISON Open two maps simultaneously and compare locations directly. Move shapes between maps, test ideas visually, and evaluate alternatives β all without switching views. SEAMLESS WORKFLOW Export your measurements as images or GeoJSON files to continue working in other apps and professional tools. Your data goes where you need it. SYNC ACROSS DEVICES Use SplitMap on iPhone and iPad with a single purchase. Your locations and measurements sync automatically, so you can start on one device and pick up on another. BUILT FOR EVERYONE β’ Supports metric and imperial units β’ Available in 11 languages β’ Adapts naturally to any screen size Whether youβre planning a project, researching property boundaries, comparing hiking trails, or simply exploring the world, SplitMap gives you the tools to measure β and reposition β what matters.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: SplitMap at none against MineChat's shown. MineChat's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs every 2 months) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 26.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
