Route Measure makes it easy to measure and save distances between points by placing pins on a map. Use it to plan a walk, running route, cycling course, hike, or trip; estimate distances before you set out; or check the spacing between places and properties directly on the map. EASY DISTANCE MEASUREMENT Press and hold the map to add pins. Route Measure connects them in sequence and shows the total distance across all segments. You can also check each segment and the straight-line distance from the first pin to the last. Drag any pin to fine-tune its position. QUICK PLACE SEARCH Search by place name, facility, or address. Switch between standard and satellite maps, and allow location access if you want to show your current position. Measuring distances does not require location access. SAVE AND REVIEW Name and save each measurement, then reopen it later with its map and distance details. Pins from an unfinished measurement are saved on your device automatically, so you can continue after closing the app. EXPORT IN FOUR FORMATS Export a saved route as CSV, GPX, KML, or HTML. Use your data in spreadsheets, compatible map apps, Google Earth, or a web browser. BACKUP AND PRIVACY Back up and restore all your saved routes in one file. Route Measure does not send your measurement history or location data to an app-operated server. The free version lets you save one route at a time. A one-time Full Access purchase unlocks unlimited saved routes. Distance measurement, exporting, backup, and restore remain available in the free version.

Verdict
