By BALASAHEB SIDAGONDA PATIL on 31/07/2010Is there a way to upload kml files or GPS tracks into this tool; or could this tool be loaded into Google earth. I use this tool for acreage calculations on fire perimeters and works very well.

On 05/07/2010Concept behind the application of tool is good. But if it would have been with the co-ordinate method or more landmarks are provided that would have been easy to search in especially in rural areas

By Jayant, Bhandgaon Ahmednagar on 04/07/2010I am a cattle farmer in South Afica , and constantly need to measure our grazing areas for the optimum amount of cattle per acre. It sometimes takes more than half a day to measure the area with a qaudbike and GPS. Now it is about 30 seconds with this magnificient tool. I even forwarded the link to land surveyors who can't believe their luck. Thank you for saving a lot of time and money.
By Drikus Eksteen on 30/06/2010I have been searching for this tool for 10 yrs. Awesome! Thank you for providing this! Tell Google they need to add this feature to the main map, more people than they think would like to use it.
On 21/06/2010Simple, but very handy indeed.
By fruey on 16/06/2010excelent tool ....thanks!
On 20/05/2010a total external length would be welcome.
By Travis on 17/05/2010Linear feet tool already exists. Go to Google map & desired location; click help (T/R); click/enable 1st option ="Distance Measurement Tool", also enable "LatLng tool tip" & "LatLng Marker" (NB this is important); click "Save Changes"; screen will return to your map location that you previously chose. Next,click on THE LITTLE BOX, BOTTOM LEFT OF THE MAP SCREEN (*LOCATED NEXT TO THE SCALE MARKER*) this will activate the utility, ie~ distance between points. Facility is accumulative, so that any additional trig points are added to the initual distance, e.g. -say Point A to Point B is 100ft, and that you then select Point C, which is 50ft away, the calculated distance will then be increased to 150ft, and additional points will be added to the ongoing total. There seems to be no limit to the amount of trig points that you can install on a route etc. Have done a thorough check on this gadget and its very accurate, that is, I have measured the distance by hand and the results were spot on. If you have any questions or need further help then mail me via priscillageorge115@btinternet.com. This offer of assistance is given because I know only to well what its like being stuck when seeking to resolve such problems, knowing that the answers out there somewhere! Regards. Mark.
