Contact Planimeter Measure Land Area Support

It seems like the only way to map anything is to use Google maps… Which hasn’t been updated with a satellite view in quite a while. Even if it had, there’s so many trees on the property, it’s basically impossible to tell where you’re at location wise. There doesn’t seem to be a way to go from app to physical location easily. We’re trying to measure out fencing for less than an acre, but there’s no way to put in any coordinates (unless I’m missing something). The “help” portion of the app isn’t helpful. It just gives you the most basic information that you can probably figure out on your own.

I could do something similar in a basic image editing software and not waste $8. If you have multiple acres of land, I’m sure this would be more useful.

I thought I could use this app to physically walk out measurements, and it is WAY OFF. I am measuring the 50’x30’ rectangular tent at one of our seasonal retail locations. I just walked the perimeter, dropping a pin at each of the 12 support posts. This app made the rectangular tent look like a 12 point asymmetrical star or something. I needed to measure the tent to set up our tables and displays, starting at the tent and moving outward on the property. I guess I’ll have to go back to the old fashioned way we’ve done it for years and years. 😕

I rated it a 2 instead of a 1 because at least the app can be used to measure an area with a location address. This doesn’t help us since the tent is never placed in the same exact spot.
