Discover GPS Fields, download it now!
Measuring land with a tape measure or by counting steps never gives the correct result, especially in large or irregular areas. There's an app that uses your phone's GPS to calculate the area of any plot of land by walking along the edge or marking a point on a map—without needing any extra equipment.
GPS Fields Area Measure is one of the most widely used GPS measurement apps in the world, with nearly 200,000 reviews in the app store. It calculates area, perimeter, and distance directly on the map using the phone's own GPS signal—it works on rural land, urban lots, backyards, or any area that needs to be measured without professional equipment.
What the app offers
- Measurement by walking The app records your path as you walk along the edge of the property and automatically calculates the area.
- Measurement by map — You can mark the points directly on the satellite map, without having to go to the location.
- Several units — hectare, square meter, acre, and other units, according to regional custom.
- Works offline — After the map has loaded once, the measurement continues to work without internet access.
Who is the app for?
This is useful for anyone who works with land — farmers, real estate agents, beginner surveyors — and also for anyone who just needs to measure their own yard or lot before a renovation or negotiation. The accuracy doesn't replace an official topographic survey, but it's sufficient for a quick and reliable reference point in everyday life.
Is it safe to use?
Yes. It's an official app, available on the Android and iOS app stores, with thousands of reviews and no need for sensitive data to perform basic measurements. Like any app from an official store, it doesn't have the risks of pirated or unauthorized apps.
Is the paid version worth it?
The free version already covers basic area and perimeter measurement, which solves most cases. The paid version removes ads and unlocks extra features, such as exporting maps in a professional format — useful for those who frequently use the app at work.
How to use
- Download the app from Google Play or the App Store.
- Open the map and locate the plot of land you want to measure.
- Mark the points on the map or activate walking measurement.
- Check the calculated area and save the result.
