Measure land area, perimeter, and distance right on a map — no tools, no guesswork. Field Maps with Area Measure turns your iPhone and iPad into a precise land measuring tool for fields, plots, parcels, roofs, and lawns. Tap points on satellite imagery to draw a boundary, or start GPS and walk, drive, or fly the perimeter — the app traces the shape and calculates the area automatically. TWO WAYS TO MEASURE • Tap to draw — drop pins on the map to outline any field or parcel. A magnifier loupe makes every point pixel-precise. • Walk the boundary — turn on GPS tracking and move along the edge; the app records your path and closes the shape for you. ACCURATE, REAL-WORLD RESULTS • Geodesic math on the WGS-84 ellipsoid — true area and perimeter on the curved earth, not flat-map estimates. • Switch units instantly: acres, hectares, square meters, and square feet. Distance in meters, kilometers, feet, or miles. WORKS WHERE YOU WORK • Fully offline in the field — measure, save, and organize with no signal. • Save every measurement with its map and revisit it anytime. BUILT FOR TEAMS • Workspaces let your whole crew share the same fields, plots, and notes. • Invite members with one share code; set each person as owner, editor, or viewer. • Edits sync automatically — even after working offline. • Site photos and notes are shared with everyone on the team. • Send a public web link so anyone can view a measurement in a browser. EXPORT YOUR DATA • Esri Shapefile (.shp, .shx, .dbf) and DXF for CAD — open your fields directly in QGIS, ArcGIS, AutoCAD and farm management software. • CSV for spreadsheets, KML and KMZ for Google Earth, GeoJSON, GPX and plain text. • PDF reports with a map, your notes and site photos — or a public web link anyone can open in a browser. WHO IT'S FOR Farmers and growers, field teams and crews, property owners, landscapers and builders, foresters and surveyors, and real estate pros — anyone who needs to measure land area or distance on the go. No account required to start measuring. Free to download. Download Field Maps with Area Measure and measure any piece of land — right from your phone. ——— Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy Policy: https://gpsandareameasure.com/privacy.html
