This app is intended for measuring distances, areas, perimeters, and angles
from GPS and user-drawn tracks. No ads. Its professionally designed as a tool, not a toy. Its useful for various measurements, rough land and water surveying, etc.

It operates in a unique way. Instead of having to specify
individual points, you simply draw "free hand" what youd like to measure.

Areas may be a closed region of any shape. The app has a map, satellite, and "lite" display mode that has fast pinch-zoom and drawing capability. It displays a travel track. You can combine the GPS-generated track with your own tracks in order to create various shapes to measure.
