Land Computer is a powerful yet easy-to-use comprehensive set of field surveying and measurement tools for Android devices, a favorite among field workers, farmers, engineers, GIS students, and professionals.
A unique feature of this app is that it allows you to measure area and perimeter for ANY land shape. You’re not limited to making shapes bounded by straight lines, and you don’t have to approximate curves by dividing them into multiple line segments. The result is more accurate field calculations than you can get with other land surveying tools.
The most commonly performed tasks by the app include:
📏 Create a field survey by drawing any shape on a map to get the enclosed area and perimeter. Combine points and curves to make the best possible map survey. It supports any shape you can draw!
📏 Get land area and perimeter for any shape field by walking or driving its perimeter.
📏 Measure point-to-point distances with various map tools and surveying tools.
📏 Area and perimeter unit conversion tool.
📏 Shortest distance to a line with precise connecting geodesics.
The app includes:
● Selection of coordinate systems including: WGS 84, British Ordnance Survey (OSG36 Datum), ANS, NAD 27, ED 50, NAD 83 and many more.
● A backup and restore feature: Protect and restore your work using the app’s kml import and backup features. Share surveys with colleagues who may view your work in Google Earth on their desktop or phone, or in Land Calculator. Got a new phone and all your work is on the old phone? No problem! Import all your old work into your new phone with the app’s one-click restore process.
● Use the data generated by this application in ArcGIS by converting app KML files with the ArcGIS KML2Layer feature, or use KML tools to convert application KML files to Drawing Exchange Format (DXF) for use in drawing such as AutoCad and SketchUp.
A GPS controlled compass and GPS reports are included to assist with your field surveys.
Who uses this app?
● Used by farmers to calculate equipment needs, seed needs, estimate water usage, estimate crop quantity and value.
● Used by real estate agents to measure property size.
● Insurance agents use the app to measure the size of the property for adjustment purposes.
● Property inspectors use the app to obtain property measurements used in mortgage calculations.
● Used by land improvement companies to estimate supply needs for fencing and other building materials.
