Used to be a good calculator.
Now its a mess...
Hi. Calculated area indicates 0 (zero) for all measures. Have used many times before successfully. Area seems to close/complete fine, so no clues. Still some bug?
By John N on 5th April 2025i am using the manual, but it area is not calculated
On 3rd April 2025By some scenarios you mean all scenarios??
Why was the multiple areas total eliminated as well as color selection? This was a very useful feature that makes no sense in not having if one has multiple non-connecting areas that is automatically added to a total square footage after mapping out all areas needing to be figured for a service proposal or material purchasing purposes.
By RMS on 1st April 2025[All] A bug fix has just been applied to resolve to area not closing issue.
By Daft Logic on 1st April 2025just tried in firefox and edge doesn't close area in either - worked fine for years and yes I'm double clicking and clicking on first node none close area
On 1st April 2025ok
By ok on 31st March 2025Doesn't work. Cannot finish, close an area. No measurements possible.
On 31st March 2025Cant get the map area to turn green. Please help, does not work.
On 30th March 2025I have to echo the others. I used to use this all the time. I come back occasionally since the update but it continues to be useless. Another comment says "read the directions." I double click, and it just adds then deletes the point I want rather than "finishing the area". If you clear the map, it's then impossible to make new points. I'm on the latest version of Chrome, the most popular browser in the world.
On 30th March 2025Loaded with useless ads and nothing works. Bring back the old version, whatever that one was. My stored content is no longer stored either. Ads, more ads and more ads, which do nothing for for using this site, only to add clutter to my browser. I have used this tool for years, follow the directions and nothing works except for more pop up ads.
By Alan on 30th March 2025Doesn't work anymore
By patrick on 30th March 2025Works fine, read the instructions. Works better, read the instructions.
By Phildo on 13th March 2025Doesn't work anymore!
On 11th January 2025Galatasaray
On 11th January 2025Use to be a great tool. Now its just woke, broke and useless.
On 3rd January 2025The tool doesn't calculate area anymore, so it is pretty useless in it's current form. That said, everyone demanding for this to be resolved immediately need to understand that this is FREE software provided by someone probably in their spare time. I doubt very much that they've broken it on purpose to upset you. I imagine it is more due to some incompatibility with dependencies and/or the map provider. If you don't; like it, feel free to build your own tool and send us all a link!
On 12th December 20245 or so years ago this was so simple and intuitive to use.
Now simple features removed and nonsense added.
Sad.
Too bad everyone thinks everything digital can, or more often, believes it needs improving, when it's working perfectly. I was told this was once the place for rural land owners to make calculations and plans. Clearly they were mistaken. But, it is indeed useless.
