Measured large, long winding driveway... We are getting our concrete driveway textured and resurfaced. I needed the measurement so I can get an accurate bid from a contractor. I measured the surface area by by moving the pins on the screen via a Google Maps satellite image. I plan to walk my driveway and property line also. Moving the pins can be tricky since the interface only allows you to zoom in so much. I would like to see the ability to zoom in even if it exceeds the Google maps GPS to pixel resolution (it is arguable that this is mathematically pointless but hey, I want it! ;-)) Other than that the interface is nice and easy. I am pleased with the app. I will post another review once I test a real world measurement by walking my property line and driveway. Based on what I have done to date, I do recommend this app. Bravo!

Needs auto wayppint features Not enough zoom and it doesn't tract your movement and set perimeter points to accurately culculate area.

Brush hogger Great app I use this for measuring my jobs by the acre and is very accurate. Needs the ability to load in an address to find exact location from unknown area. Other then that no problems.
