What GPS Fields Area Measure does

GPS Fields Area Measure is a land measuring app for iPhone and Android. Tap points on a satellite map, or walk or drive around the edge, and it works out the area, perimeter and distance. You can save, name and group your measurements and share them as a link.

If you searched for a land measurement app, this one has more than 10 million installs on Google Play. Farmers, landscapers, fencers and curious landowners use it to get a quick idea of how big a field, yard or plot is.

There are two ways to measure. Tap points on the map to outline a shape, with a marker mode for more precise placement, or turn on GPS tracking and walk or drive the boundary. You can label measurements, group them, add points of interest like fences or stones, and share an area with a link. It works offline, can connect to Garmin GLO external GPS antennas, and exports to KML, KMZ and Shapefile.

This app measures what you draw. It doesn't know where your property lines are, and it doesn't show owners. The numbers are only as good as the points you place and your phone's GPS, so they're estimates, not a legal survey. For a sale, a deed or a fence on the line, use a licensed surveyor.

Questions people ask

Can GPS Fields Area Measure show my property lines?

No. It measures shapes you draw or walk. For property lines, you need a parcel map app.

How accurate are the measurements?

They depend on how carefully you place points and on your phone's GPS. Treat them as estimates, not a survey.

Does it work offline?

Yes. The app says it can measure without a connection.
