Features & Capabilities

Simple app to measure distances and areas in Google Maps.

Just click on the map to add different points - Maps Measure will then calculate the distance, area or elevation* between those points.
This app does not calculate a route or something like that - it's not a navigation or route planning app.

Swipe in from the left side to access more options, long-click on the trash icon to delete all set points.

Features:
• Measure distances, areas & elevations*
• Imperial & metric units
• Map, hybrid-satellite & terrain view
• No ads
• Minimum permissions & open source
• Holo-themed with support for translucent system decor on Android 4.4

*the elevations feature requires an in-app purchase (0.99 EUR, 1.49 USD)

Permissions:
INTERNET & ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE - showing the map and getting altitude data
WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE - caching map data
ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION & ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION - displaying your current location on the map
BILLING - upgrade to the pro-version through an in-app purchase

The app does not show any ads or collects any of your data.

When I am figuring out how far I want to walk, it nice to be able to measure to landmarks. This app seems to do a good job. Use it almost every day.

This seems to work well as a replacement for Planimeter - GPS Area Measure since they auto-updated to a subscription model and killed everyone's purchased app.
