Distance Measurement vs Yardstik

Distance Measurement lets you measure distance by simply tracing your finger across a map. Use it for walking and running routes, your commute, or a rough idea of how far apart two places are. THREE WAYS TO MEASURE - Freehand: tap Start Measuring, then trace the map with your finger. The distance updates as you draw - Straight Line: tap the map to place points, and the lengths of the segments are added up. Undo removes just the last point - Along Roads: turns the line you traced into a route that follows roads and paths, and gives you that distance. Choose walking or driving Distances are calculated on the real surface of the Earth, not in screen pixels. MAP FEATURES - Search for a place or address and jump right to it - Standard, Satellite and Hybrid maps - A Current Location button - Undo, Clear and Show All make it easy to start over - Distances switch automatically between m and km. In Settings you can switch to feet and miles HISTORY - Save a measurement and bring it back on the map later (the line, distance, map position and zoom) - Your saved history is kept on your device only AND MORE - Works on iPhone and iPad. Supports Dark Mode - 14 languages: Japanese, English, Korean, Chinese (Simplified and Traditional), German, French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese (Brazil), Dutch, Polish, Turkish and Russian - No account or sign-in required LOCATION Your location is used only to show where you are on the map. Every measuring feature works even if you don't allow it. ADS The app is free. To keep it running, it shows a banner ad at the bottom of the screen, and may show a full-screen ad when you clear a measurement. PLEASE NOTE - Road-following distances come from Apple Maps route searches. The route may differ from the path you traced, and an internet connection is required - Distances are reference values. Do not use them as a basis for surveying or for legal or commercial purposes

Measure distances simply and accurately on your Apple Watch, without starting a workout. Yardstik tracks the distance you travel and keeps your last 25 measurements with a map of each route. Open-Ended Measurement Tap Start and Yardstik measures the distance until you tap End. With double tap gestures, you can start, pause, resume, and end a measurement without touching the screen. Set Distance Choose a target distance and Yardstik gives you audio and haptic feedback the moment you reach it. Interval Mode Turn on Interval Mode to get audio and haptic feedback each time you cover a particular distance. History and Routes Yardstik keeps your last 25 measurements on your watch. Tap a measurement to see its route on a map, along with the straight-line distance and the elevation change. Start Faster Add the Start Measuring control to Control Center, the Smart Stack, or the Action button. Yardstik opens and starts measuring as soon as the watch obtains your location. You can also say “Start measuring in Yardstik” to Siri, or add the Yardstik widget to your watch face. Privacy Your measurements and routes stay on your Apple Watch. Yardstik doesn’t collect any data. Yardstik is perfect for workout route planning, interval or recurring distance training, pacing out distances, and any outdoor activity where distance measurement is needed. Yardstik needs an accurate GPS location to begin measuring, so it works best outdoors with a clear view of the sky. The Start Measuring control, widget, and Siri phrase require watchOS 26 or later. Double tap and the Action button are available on supported models.
