About this app

Simple app to measure distances and areas in Google Maps.

Just click on the map to add different points - Maps Measure will then calculate the distance, area or elevation* between those points.
This app does not calculate a route or something like that - it's not a navigation or route planning app.

Swipe in from the left side to access more options, long-click on the trash icon to delete all set points.

Features:
• Measure distances, areas & elevations*
• Imperial & metric units
• Map, hybrid-satellite & terrain view
• No ads
• Minimum permissions & open source
• Holo-themed with support for translucent system decor on Android 4.4


*the elevations feature requires an in-app purchase (0.99 EUR, 1.49 USD)

Permissions:
INTERNET & ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE - showing the map and getting altitude data
WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE - caching map data
ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION & ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION - displaying your current location on the map
BILLING - upgrade to the pro-version through an in-app purchase

The app does not show any ads or collects any of your data.
The app is open source and listed on GitHub: https://github.com/j4velin/MapsMeasure

Ratings and reviews

I'm using an older version because reviews say newer one is buggy. What I'm using works great. Near as I can tell the (paid) elevation function is excellent, on one (relatively) flat stretch of road it was actually showing 2' variances over a mile or so (I'd say accurate). The nearby parallel railroad did not, also likely accurate. I realize the base info is Google but having the interface is impressive. Suggest the author make a separate donation app, so one can donate without updating.

I had a previous version on my old phone and really liked it. Installing this version on my new phone I soon realized that I cannot pre select my desired unit of measurement (yards). This app delivers my measurement in miles. I need this option of selecting different units. Will have to look for a different app.

It would be nice if, if you make a mistake with a point, you could drag it to where it should be rather than having to delete it and place a new point. But the app works well otherwise, and I could easily measure how far I walked to the shops and back, which is what I wanted to do
