The_Dogge Posted June 5, 2016 Report Share Posted June 5, 2016 On android I use "maps ruler lite" which works well if you don't have a rangefinder handy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andybrock Posted June 5, 2016 Report Share Posted June 5, 2016 I use "Planimeter GPS area measure" on IOS for measuring distance and finding out the size of fields etc, seems pretty accurate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1066 Posted June 5, 2016 Report Share Posted June 5, 2016 If you go to Google maps, find what you want to measure, select satelite image, right click on the map you will find a box that says "measure distance" I find it easy and correct within inches.

activeviii Posted June 12, 2016 Report Share Posted June 12, 2016 I use map measure for andriod. did a test a couple weeks back and it was one yard out on a known measurement of 400 yards so it works. a lot slower than a range finder though but still handy when your shooting buddy leaves the range finder at home Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
