Google Maps Area Calculator Tool

Mat, sorry this is not possible. We will take this idea and consider it for future updates

Hi, if I have multiple separate distinct saved areas, is there a way to then combine them and see them together on a map (without redrawing each area)?

Thanks - love the tool!

Add wkt support so that i can paste a polygon obj here and find its area

Hi John, you can try switching to full screen view then print from the browser.

Can you print what you have?

Russia in this map : ~ 9 millions km²
Russia in reality : 17 millions km²

Strange, because numbers are right to Canada (~9/10 millions km²)

EddyQ, the markers can be dragged after they have been placed on the map.
By Daft Logic on 1st June 2017

Nice, but I wish it had a way to drag points.

Would be good if once the area is defined you could show the measurements between points so that it can be transferred on to the ground.

Hi Nic, it sounds like to are doing the right steps - click on the Saved Area name to load it. Does this happen (well, nothing happens) for more than one saved area? What happens if you draw and save a new area then clear the map and try to load the newly saved one?

Hi, thanks for nice prog, but how do I open a saved area to view it?
Clicking on "Name" does nothing.
Mailed it to myself but then only daftlogic page opens.
How to open and view saved Areas??

Hi, it sounds like you are reading the perimeter for a 2 sided area. There is a 'quirk' where this page measures it there and back as it sees it as an areas perimeter. If you are looking to measure distance, try the Distance Calculator.
By Daft Logic on 23rd February 2017

Hi, I bealive something is wrong with the measuring system. I´m seeing the distances duplicated. The same line in google erath and maps is giving me 1km, and the line here is indicating 2 km. Maybe is something from the scale... Regards

Tom, thanks for reporting this. You are correct, it wasn't working. It should now be fixed.
By Daft Logic on 21st February 2017

Rename does not work. I've tried with and without cookies. You can type a new file name, but it does not save.

Brent, when you say "The responding email would not get the measured information." - what do you mean by this? Do they get the email? Do they see the map? Do they see the outline of the area on the map?
I can see your 3 saved areas, 1 has no data , 1 has only one point of data and the 3rd (near Amarillo) has data saved for a small lawn at a commercial property and measures 144.05 feet²

Erochu. Thanks for the comments. The estimation assumes a flat earth so there is a margin of error. It is hard to put any figure on the margin of error but any slope or gradient would need to be extreme to get to a point where the inaccuracy makes the estimate on this page misleading, Please see the Disclaimer for the legal stuff.

Hello daftlogic. This is an amazing suite. I use your other one to measure my jogging routes! :) So this is my question:

Does your calculations take into account the distortion caused by translating a 3d object into a flat 2d object?

If not, how much would that affect the calculations regarding plots smaller than an acre? I have a small plot and want to get an idea of the area without paying for a surveyor! Thanks so much!

DL,
Regarding what happens when I click on a saved item.. I have one saved in Amarillo TX. it brings up the location ( house), but the measurements around the lawn ( green markings) highlighted is gone. Then I click on an apartment complex in Fort Worth TX and it draws a line toggle marks it from amarillo to Ft Worth. but the same thing with the green markings of the measurements are gone. I left a response before this one. This is the second message today.. Thanks.

The first 3 of my username is "bur" . Basically, I am measuring the square footage of lawn on a residential and commercial property. After lining the property and it highlights in green and shows the square footage. I would give it a name for its location then save, then send it to an email. The responding email would not get the measured information. I would check was I saved and the measured information (green markings) is lost. So again that is my concern why is it not saving the square footage?

Please continue your information from last week. Need to know why its not saving!!

Thanks

I'm trying to figure out the area of boundaries - focussed specifically on those in Tewkesbury Borough, Gloucestershire, England; right down to our parish level. It's proving impossible! Can Google do anything amazing like overlay the boundary map so I can figure out the area of each parish? It'd be amazing! :)

Brent, what are the first 3 characters of your username? This will help us look in to this.

Hi Brent, when you login do any saved areas appear on the list above the map? If so, what happens when you click on them?
By Daft Logic on 30th January 2017

Thanks for responding to my saving issue, but it didn't solve it. I have an account. I have saved several projects and have lost several hours of work because after I saved it the measurements (green markings) is lost. Its saving the project (location), but not the measurements (square footage). I'm at a loss on what I'm doing wrong and why it's not saving the measurements?

Anyone please advise,
Thanks,
Brent
