Measure Map for Android

If you accidentally hit search icon, the search bar and keyboard pop up. No “X out” option so you have to search for something then go back to your project.

i cannot figure out how to change this to Google maps instead of google or there just not an option like that

Phần mềm này rất hữu ích khi đi đo đác ngài thực địa, tôi thấy rất đơn giản và tiện dụng. giá như có thêm một vài tình năn nữa như chuyển sang hệ toạ độ VN200, lưu tiếp các điểm mà trước đây đang sử dụng với lại có thể thay đồi nguồn bản đồ nữa thì quá hoàn hảo!

I have used this app to map my 1.4 acre property and mark where I have or may add wire antennas for my ham radio station. Much better and more permanent than using a 160 foot measuring tape, pencil, and paper. W9ZSJ Later. Remarks about Measure Map app Terse Instructions appear when program is initiated. Had to delete app and reload to see them again. Took much experimenting to actually grasp what instructions meant and how to put them together for a measuring session. “It’s easy if you know how.” and “Practice makes perfect.” if you know what to practice. The one word descriptions under the menus are not sufficient to indicate the functions, implications, and sequence of use of some of the pull-down options. Little blue man indicating my location “wanders around”, apparently the GPS seeking an accurate measurement of my location. Should be explained and instructions given to wait, ignore, or what action to take. Role of the anchor point not clear. Couldn’t move the “base crosshair” where I wanted it by touching and sliding it, but I later discovered that I could slide the map until it sat where I wanted it. It turned out that this was the main step I did not understand. Instead of moving the cursor to the location desired, one moves the underlying map so that the location desired is positioned under the cursor. I would imagine that 100% of people trying to record a position would do it in the former way and not realize that the second approach is to be used. Some will “discover” this immediately. How many would fail to discover the right way and never make the program work correctly? Seemed to change to area mode without my involvement. Could have been accidental touching of screen? While measuring distances in my yard, such accidental touching and subsequent placing of an unintended drop point occurred often. If that is realized before the next desired data is recorded, the unintended point(s) may easily be removed with the “back arrow”. Size was a problem on Android. Pop up ads took over screen, prevented seeing data, and effecting app functions during learning phase. And, getting a pop-up urging the purchase of “Tic Tok” is not likely to sell to many users of this program. Once I changed to my Mobile, the program was much more comfortable to use. However, the “inadvertent touching” was still a problem. A new user should be apprised of this. Operations seemed to switch to area measure w/o my help, it was probably due to “inadvertent touching”. I looked into upgrading and paying for it to get the advantages listed in the app. I had in mind paying about $5. I like to pay for apps that I use more than occasionally. I thought I took advantage of a “free” upgrade, then was charged $5.99. That was a deal-breaker, and I backed out. If I had known that it cost that much at the outset, I probably would have paid. I rejected another similar app because it is $14.99/quarter, too much for non-professional, occasional use. Use of English should be reviewed by a native speaker. The meaning of some Messages is clear, but the way they are expressed is not “colloquial” to an English speaker. I don’t think Americans are biased against Asian programmers, but they are “put off” by poor use of our language. “Bye me a coffee” means “Goodbye me a coffee” It should be “Buy me a coffee”. But the only way to “buy” seems to be to pay you $5.99. Not clear what “Restore purchase” means. “Measurement store” is probably correct, but it may confuse those who don’t often use “store” as “a place to keep things” but instead think “a place where I buy things”. The same word has two meanings as a noun and another as a verb. Another example of two words that are spelled the same and sound the same but have totally different meanings. I’m glad I don’t have to learn English from scratch. ————- Assumptions are made by the programmer that a user will understand the use of the app with little introduction, terse descriptions, and no examples. But assumptions that are obvious to the creator of a program are not inherently clear to a new user. I found the somewhat detailed description on the App Store (a STORE where BOTH apps are kept AND apps are sold) after I had started to use the app. I really didn’t think about going back to the App Store and yearned for an instruction manual or a YouTube video.

Accurate app built by a responsive developer. Love using this app for well- You know. Emailed the developer yesterday and received his response yesterday. The app works well And great dev response. Super satisfied. Thank you.
