## Description

Measure the area of any field, farm, plot or garden by walking its boundary with GPS, or by typing the corner coordinates from your land record. Plotline is a GPS land area calculator that gives the answer in acres, hectares, square feet and local units such as bigha, guntha, katha, kanal and marla. No ads. No subscription.<br><br>WHY PEOPLE SWITCH TO PLOTLINE<br>• Walk the boundary: press Start walking, go around the field and press Finish. Plotline skips vague readings and GPS jumps, keeps recording with the screen off and works offline, with no internet connection.<br>• Accurate maths: area and perimeter are measured on the WGS84 ellipsoid with the geodesic method used by surveying software. No size limit, from a garden to a whole farm.<br>• Honest local units: a bigha in West Bengal is not a bigha in Rajasthan, so every local unit shows its region. If your records use another size, add your own unit.<br>• Acres included, with hectares, square metres, square feet, square yards (gaj) and more than 30 local units.<br>• Easy from the first minute: a short 3-step guide shows how it works, and every screen tells you what to do next.<br>• Precise corners: on the plot sheet, tap to add a corner, drag a stake to move it (a magnifier shows the exact spot), delete it in one touch, undo and redo any change.<br>• Calm: no ads at all, no pop-ups, no &quot;rate us&quot; nagging and no account.<br><br>TWO WAYS TO MEASURE<br>1. GPS walk: walk around the field with your phone (&quot;Trace my path&quot;), or use &quot;Stake corners&quot; for straight-sided plots: stand on each corner for a few seconds and Plotline averages the GPS readings.<br>2. Enter coordinates: decimal degrees (18.5204, 73.8567) or degrees, minutes and seconds (18°31&#39;13&quot;N 73°51&#39;24&quot;E). Paste a whole list at once.<br>Then check and adjust the shape on the plot sheet, a scaled grid with every side length.<br><br>RESULTS YOU CAN USE<br>• Area in your main unit plus the units you pick, perimeter, every side length and the corner coordinates.<br>• A warning when the boundary crosses itself, with one-tap untangle.<br>• Save fields with a name, notes and the date (5 fields in the free version).<br>• Share the figures as text on WhatsApp, SMS or email, free.<br>• Pro: export KML for Google Earth and GIS apps, and a PDF field report with a scaled plan, every measurement and the corner table.<br><br>LOCAL UNITS INCLUDED<br>Guntha, cent, decimal (dismil), ground, ankanam, kanal and marla (India and Pakistan); bigha, biswa, katha, dhur and lessa for Punjab, Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, Bihar, Jharkhand, West Bengal, Assam, Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh and Bangladesh; and Nepal&#39;s bigha, kattha, dhur, ropani, aana and paisa. Lengths in metres, feet, yards, miles, chains and links.<br><br>A FIELD AREA MEASURE APP FOR REAL WORK<br>Farmers checking a plot before sowing or buying, landowners comparing a field with the land record, surveyors and contractors who need a quick land measurement, gardeners and sports clubs. Plotline gives the answer in the unit you think in.<br><br>PRIVATE BY DESIGN<br>No account, no sign-up, no ads and no analytics. Your fields stay on your phone. Location is used only while you walk a boundary, and Plotline never uploads it.<br><br>PLOTLINE PRO: ONE-TIME PURCHASE, NO SUBSCRIPTION<br>Unlimited saved fields, plus KML and PDF export. Pay once and keep it. Measuring, GPS walk, all units and text sharing stay free.<br><br>Good to know: phone GPS is usually accurate to a few metres under open sky. For the best result, wait for good GPS before you start and walk at a steady pace. Plotline is a measuring tool, not a legal survey.
