FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1.How do I remove or move an incorrectly placed point?

While measuring, tap the Undo icon on the bottom toolbar to remove the latest point sequentially. On saved records, open the record in Records, select 'Edit shape', and drag the point or tap to delete it.

Q2.Can I walk the perimeter and measure with GPS automatically?

Yes! When starting a new measurement, select 'GPS Measurement' instead of 'Manual Measurement'. Turn tracking on, then walk or drive around your boundary to log the polygon automatically.

Q3.How can I change measurement units (acres, hectares, square feet)?

Go to the Settings menu. Under the 'Units' section, you can independently configure Area units (Hectares, Acres, Square Meters, Square Feet, etc.) and Distance units (Metric or Imperial).

Q4.How do I share records with colleagues or clients?

Open any saved record and tap the Share button in the top right. You can generate an instant web viewing link, export a clean map screenshot, or share raw KML/DXF files via email or messaging apps.
