Geographic Measurement Desk
Measure routes and areas on a map. Draw or import shapes, find their centers and create a boundary around them.
How can I measure a shape on a map?
Draw points, lines and closed polygons or open GeoJSON. Review each feature’s distance, area and centroid, choose a buffer distance and inspect the resulting shapes. Download measurement tables and buffer GeoJSON. Calculations use spherical Earth distances and areas; centroids are coordinate means.
A shape. A distance. An answer.
Local files, clear maps and portable results.
