Land Calculator: Area, Length 3.43

Land Calculator is a comprehensive set of field measurement and survey tools designed for Android devices. It is widely favored by field workers, farmers, engineers, GIS students, and professionals.

A standout feature of this application is its ability to calculate area and perimeter for any land shape, without being constrained to shapes bounded by straight lines or having to approximate curves. This ensures more precise field calculations compared to other land measurement tools.

The app is primarily used for:

• Create a field survey by drawing any shape on a map to determine its area and perimeter. Multiple points and curves can be combined for optimal mapping. It supports all drawable shapes.
• Obtain land area and perimeter for any field shape by walking or driving along its perimeter.
• Measure distances between points using various map and survey tools.
• Unit conversion tool for area and perimeter measurements.
• Calculate the shortest distance to a line with accurate connecting geodesics.

The application offers:

• Selection of coordinate systems such as WGS 84, British Ordnance Survey (OSG36 Datum), ANS, NAD 27, ED 50, NAD 83, and others.
• Backup and restore functionality through kml backup and importing features. Surveys can be shared with colleagues who can view the work in Google Earth or Land Calculator. Switching phones is seamless with the one-click restore process.
• Data compatibility with ArcGIS through KML file conversion using ArcGIS's KML2Layer feature or KML Tools for conversion to DXF format for use in programs like AutoCad and SketchUp.

A GPS-controlled compass and GPS reporting are included to facilitate field surveys.

Who uses this app?

• Farmers for equipment needs assessment, seed requirements, water usage estimation, harvest quantity estimate, and crop value assessment.
• Real Estate agents for property size measurement.
• Insurance agents for property size measurements during adjustment processes.
• Property inspectors for property measurements used in mortgage calculations.
• Land improvement businesses for estimating fencing and construction supply needs.
