Distance Measure

I had to find a tool like this when Google took away the measure feature. This app works great for me. I've only used the distance measurement so far. Put a first waypoint and save, and you have a "pin". Take a screen shot of your map and keep it in your photos. The email feature is nice too. Just what I wanted. Simple and accurate. Nice job! Update 2017-September. Still going strong on this app. I appreciate that the writer keeps up with it. Tried the airprint feature and it works great in hybrid and map view. Easy to toggle thru map unit changes. There is a pro version to pay and remove adds. See the settings page at the bottom. Thanks! Update July 2019-still maintained by developer and still great IMO. Satellite photos are high quality as well.

I've had this app since it first came out. Every time I show it to somebody they down load it. Unlike Google and other Map products, this app let you easily measure distance and area. I've used it for all kinds of purposes such as mapping trails and lot sized. Thanks to the author for keeping it updated. I don't mind the ads since they don't take up much real estate on my 6s

I just wish I could pay a couple of bucks instead of dealing with the full-length ad taking up so much real estate. Not to mention, the banner showing ads of questionable legitimacy. You have to be careful not to accidentally hit the thing, which I guess is the point. Obviously, it's the dev's right to make money however he/she sees fit. I guess it's my right not to like the way they choose, and in this case, I'm afraid that's what's happened. I'm just a typical ad-hater, and if I use an app more than a few times/year, I always pay for the "pro" version (or whatever they call it) to get rid of the ads. I wish I could have done so here as well.

I want to get better at estimating distances for hunting/shooting and this app is perfect for being able to check my myself against. I'd love the ability to cache maps for offline use and also to have the ability to pay a buck and get rid of the ads. Keep it up though, it's exactly what I was looking for!

I used this app to see if a piece of rail which could be up to 1730 feet long, would fit into a space I was looking at. This app use to tell me that. Now I have to figure out from yards to footage. If I’m wrong, and rail is to long now I have a problem. Before I could trust the measurement from point to point even when it would be close. Making a quick decision is not part of our work process now where before it was very accurate and quick. We are back to wheeling it off with a rolling measuring device. I am not happy as now time is a lot longer and time on the track is very slim.
