Area Calculator

Draw shapes on the map to measure any area accurately

What is area measurement?

Area measurement is the process of calculating the size of a two-dimensional space by drawing polygons on a map. This tool allows you to accurately measure areas for various purposes:

  • Land surveying and property assessment
  • Construction planning and site development
  • Driveway and parking lot planning
  • Landscape and garden design
  • Agricultural field measurement

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I measure complex shapes like circles or curves?

Use the polygon tool in the top right corner of the map to create shapes with multiple points. You can approximate curves by adding more points along the curve. For existing shapes, use the edit tool to add or adjust vertex positions to better match curved boundaries.

Can I measure multiple areas at once?

Yes, you can draw multiple shapes on the map. All measurements will be displayed in the panel on the right side. You can highlight or delete individual shapes as needed, and the total area will be updated automatically.

How accurate are the measurements?

The accuracy depends on the zoom level and how precisely you place the points. For best results, zoom in closely when drawing shapes and use more points to follow complex boundaries. The tool uses Google Maps' projection system to ensure accurate calculations.
