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.

Ratings and reviews

Works okay, needs some more features. Once points are placed, they can't be moved. You have to delete them one by one then re-place them. Choose "save" to load a previously saved file. I tried to load a previous file, but ended up deleting it instead, no way to recover. Needs cloud sync. Despite these drawbacks I'm still using it. If these discrepencies were fixed I'd be willing to pay for it.

Outstanding. This app. is incredibly simple to use. The 'satellite' data on Google Maps can be zoomed in further than it can in Google itself, allowing for very accurate placement of the 'nodes'. Whether you need to work out the size of a building, plot or field (carefully) or do a rough measurement of how far you've walked it is ideal.

One of my favorite and useful apps. Works consistently well and is very real world practical. For example, my condo building had roofing work. When I looked at the contract I noticed that the square footage seemed high. So I used maps measure and sure enough the contractor "overestimated" our square footage by over three thousand square feet. After I showed him my calculations, he adjusted the proposal. Highly recommend! ( The app not the contractor, lol.)
