Description
Map Calculator measures distance from point A to point B, composes complex distance paths and measures geographical areas with just a few taps. Cursor or tap and hold gesture is used to compose the path on the map. It can even record a user’s journey as it happens by running in the background and tracing the path users take. The total distance or area is recorded and updated automatically. Paths can be saved with a title and description for future reference.
