App Profile: Planimeter GPS Area Measure

Planimeter is a tool to measure distance, area and perimeter on a map. You can measure manually or by GPS tracking. You can also check the bearing and geo-coordinates of your location and share it. Points can be labeled, saved and shared in KML format.

This measurement app is useful for outdoor activities and can be used as land surveyor by amateurs and professionals in various industries like sport, farming, landscaping, paving and construction, road building and repairing, real estate business, hiking and travel, fencing, lot building and planning, solar panel installation (roof area estimation), object mapping, lawn design, and many other where land area and distance / length calculations, land survey or maps are involved.
