Step 1 of 6
Which tool should I choose?
Pick the workflow that fits your situation. Availability of individual features depends on the version and device you use.
🚶
GPS Walk
Useful when you can physically walk around an accessible field boundary with location permission enabled.
✍️
Draw on Map
Useful when you want to mark a boundary on a map by placing points or tracing an outline.
🎯
GPS + Adjust
Start with GPS points, then review and fine-tune vertices where the workflow supports adjustment.
Good measurement habits
📍
Check location accuracy
GPS accuracy can change with trees, buildings, weather, device quality, and satellite visibility. Wait for a stable fix when possible.
🔎
Review the outline
Look for crossed edges, missing corners, or points placed on the wrong side of a boundary before trusting the estimate.
📐
Know the limits
GPS and map-based results are estimates, not a substitute for a legally certified land survey where one is required.
Frequently asked questions
Does this tutorial use my actual GPS location?
No. The animated demonstration uses a simulated field boundary and does not request location permission.
Why might my GPS area differ from a survey?
GPS drift, map resolution, boundary visibility, device conditions, and the method used can affect the estimate. For legal boundaries or disputes, consult a qualified surveyor.
Can I use the free land calculator first?
Yes. Use the Free Land Measurement Toolkit to convert units and calculate a simple rectangular plot before exploring field measurement.
Where can I learn land-area units?
Visit the land measurement guide for a printable reference and practical explanations.
