Distance Measure Pro

I use this app often to measure distances between places in a straight line, across water, to plot a hike, run or bike, swim. Google maps measures distances on roads but this covers point to point where there are no roads or no recognized roads.

Works great for calculating longer “as the crow flies” distance. FANTASTIC for PRS (precision shooting rifle, long range match set up for many target placements at different ranges) It also calculates hectares / acres to a very close degree. I own a couple of farms & acreages that I’ve tested it out on physically and it’s calculations are very close to the $$$$ land & soil map survey’s. This could also be a huge help in the Forestry industry. Could be a huge time saver in estimating forest area regarding timber sales. I can especially see this as a time saving tool for professional timber cruisers when one gets the question “what do you think it’s worth off the top of your head” when a property owner is in the “kicking tire” estimate mood. :) It seems it may estimate an acreage as you may be able to ride the perimeter of an acreage pinning waypoints to estimate. And it may have that ability now as I have not played with it that much. I did see where it appeared (or soon be) able to do a radius. I need more time to work & play with it. That said, it does exactly what and more than I was looking for in an app. OK, enough, to long and wordy. Thank you sir.

Small file size, efficient, easy to use and you can store your work for later edits and use. I use it all the time to quickly determine acres and distances on forest properties. You foresters, give it a try. You'll like it. (Suggested by another forester)
