Land Area Calculator

       iOS iPad

Calculate the area for an arbitrarily shaped (closed polygon) area of land. Choose the points (clockwise OR anti-clockwise) that define the area of land by placing stakes (push pins) in a map. Choose whether you use satellite or streets or both as reference points on the map. Accuracy limited only by the accuracy of native map capability.

All you need is built-in access to maps over WiFi OR 3G cell services. You do not need GPS to determine your location. App does NOT use GPS. Just pan the built-in map to where you need it.

GREAT FOR:

• Real estate agents and investors can use to plan land acquisitions.
• Fireman planning firefighting requirements for an active fire.
• Farmers can use to plan fertilizer requirements for regular field changeovers.
• Landman negotiating with farmers and cattlemen for oil exploration and drilling leases will also find this handy.

FEATURES:

• As accurate as built in mapping features. See the image showing the football field as a reference calibration.
• Does not require GPS.
• Email to anyone a KML mapping file for use in mapping applications on any desktop.
• Email automatically attaches an image of the plot as well.
• Email also contains all of the raw data required to re-construct a plot.
• Any simple (convex OR concave) closed polygon can have its area calculated correctly.

COMING:

• Altitude information for use in calculating actual surface area.
• Calculator for transforming area into dollars or other metrics.
• We will add new features if you tell us about your needs.
• Soon, a version which runs on both iPad & iPhone will be available as an update.

ATTENTION:

• The app does NOT require location services
• Use touch&hold to place markers using crosshairs.
• App requires access to the internet over WiFi or 3G so Maps are accessible
• App cannot reliably measure areas below ~1 acre in area -- see support website
• App uses touch&hold to "drop pins" in a map to define an area to measure
• The map must have features that are contextually informative so you can see where to drop pins
• Satellite imagery, for instance, may not have newer buildings or construction
• You can only construct the enclosed area of a polygon in either clockwise OR anti-clockwise order. And polygons must be simple, i.e. they may not crossover.

*** We do have an iPhone version known as "Area Finder", though it does require Location Services ***
