The length of a parking space, the distance from our house to any point in the city, the exact dimensions of a suitcase... There are many cases in which we need to know exact and reliable data about the measurements of objects and distances. To help us in this task, there are many distance measuring apps for android devices.
Here is a detailed list of the best apps of this type. Some of them are more oriented to measure geographic distances, others are more specific for smaller measurements. There are also those capable of doing both one thing and the other. We encourage you to try them all and stay with the one you like the most:
Air Line
We start our list with Air Line, an app to measure the distance between two or more points on a map (works with Google Maps). These distances are expressed in different metric units: meters, kilometers, feet, miles, and even nautical miles. It also allows us to share our routes and measurements with other users of the application.
Distance
This is pure and simple math. the app Distance It is based on the parallax method, the most accurate that exists without the laser rangefinder, although with a greater range. It can be used to measure distances on a golf course, to draw architectural plans, or to measure the size of rooms in a house, among other things.
Easy Measure
An app that gives what it promises: a method to measure distances easyie easy. Easy Measure offers very easy handling. All we have to do is point our phone's camera at the object we want to measure and in an instant we'll get the exact result. Very easy.
Hover
Probably the most curious app on this list. what it offers Hover It is the possibility of transforming the photos of a house or property that we have saved on our smartphone into a fully measured 3D plan. This makes this application an almost professional level tool. It provides us with precise and transparent estimates, faithfully represented in 3D.
Picture Meter
Picture Meter It is a very good app to measure images and photographs. Very easy to use, with it we can establish and write down measures of length, angles, areas and even text notes. A practical example: you can take a photo of a building under construction and find out its height, its depth, the built-up area, etc.
Maps Measure
Another useful tool, mainly aimed at establishing exact distances between two points on a map. How to use Maps Measure? Just click on a map to add the points you want. The app then calculates the distance, area, or elevation between those points.
Measure and Align - 3D Plummet
A really good application, although not exactly easy to use. Measure and Align - 3D Plummet It is based on the system of measuring distances of the old plumb line, an instrument used in the past to check the correct alignment of objects. In any case, the app will help us to measure sizes, proportions, distances and volumes.
My measures
When it comes to making designs and sketches on paper of any object, it is not always an easy task. Unless we have a tool like My measures, a powerful application for storing and sharing object dimensions. All you have to do is take a photo of an object and add dimensions to it: arrows, angles, detail photos, etc.
Ruler
A fantastic precision tool for measuring anything down to the smallest detail. The application Ruler It includes such practical functions as the measurement of lengths and diameters or the measurement unit converter.
Aesthetically, it shows the image of a tape measure on the screen, a perfect substitute for a physical ruler up to 14 cm long. To measure in the traditional way in a very simple way.
SmartMeasure
Actually, SmartMeasure It is a rangefinder capable of measuring the distance and height of a target using the basic principles of trigonometry.
Its use could not be simpler. To measure an object, you have to aim at the ground, right at the point where it is located, and press the shutter. If, for example, we want to measure the height of a person, we just have to open the app, point the camera at their feet and click. very simple.
Tool Box
To close the list, perhaps the most complete application of all: Tool Box. As its name indicates, it is not a simple tool, but a complete set of instruments that we can use to perform different types of measurements.
What functions does this fabulous Swiss army knife offer us for measurement? Take note: Compass, level, vibrometer, magnetic field detector, altimeter, GPS locator, flashlight, magnifying glass, unit converter, calculator, barcode reader, mirror, clock, stopwatch, metronome and much more.
