I have not logged in in awhile, and the google earth layer is missing. I can't see markers or land around a previously marked area. Further, if I try to create a new project, I still do not see the google earth view.
By J Love on 28th January 2026I can't get the area calculator to work!
On 27th January 2026The width and length alongside area have been re-added
By Daft Logic on 13th January 2026The most useful part of this for me was being able to see the width and length alongside area of what I was measuring. These measurments being gone takes away my need for this tool.
On 12th January 2026Thanks for this tool, its amazing..
On 4th January 2026The old version worked fine. Not so with what they present now.
By John on 29th December 2025As has been stated over and over again, it just doesn't work as described, though it used to. And since this repeated complaint has persisted for so long without correction, I guess it's time to find a reliable alternative.
On 11th December 2025This used to be a good usable site. Not any more. Time to move on to some other option.
On 2nd December 2025Well, ya done screwed this up good...smh
By Fast farmer on 15th November 2025Enjoyed this page for many years, but all good things must come to an end, like this page. Oh well, we move on.
On 1st November 2025this does not work!!!!
On 20th October 2025I got it to work once while clicking around, but I cannot duplicate the same random clicks to get it working again. Maybe a clearly defined toolbar and/or instructions that actually work would be an improvement?
By NewJianYang on 9th October 2025Please bring back the old version. Stop messing with it. The old version was absolutely perfect.
On 6th October 2025On this site we used to be able to zoom in more, which was helpful when trying to measure an area. Why is the zoom so limited now?
By Mary Pope-Handy on 25th September 2025wtf....it's not working as it should!! kinda of agree with the last comment...why "fix" what wasn't broken!!!
On 3rd September 2025This used to be a brilliant tool, somehow they have ruined it. Totally non functional.
By Gary on 19th August 2025So frustrating how they ruined this once very useful tool.
On 19th August 2025Once a great tool... now it's garbage.
On 19th August 2025Sadly not a great tool any more. Clicking on a node to move it now also adds a new node which just confuses the whole system. This needs to be addressed because making adjustments to the existing shape without adding more nodes is quite key. I'm sure it's a simple fix though (fingers crossed)
By James on 19th August 2025waste of time
