It's often useful to know the exact distance between two points, but it isn't always practical (or cheap!) to bring a specialized tool such as a rangefinder. This simple, polished tool allows you take measurements using your phone's built-in GPS from a start location to an end location. Unlike a tool such as a rangefinder or tape measure, this application calculates distances based on GPS locks. It can measure across a backyard or across a nation and retain complete accuracy. It's as simple as tapping a button at the start location and then again at the end location.
Measurements
• XY Distance: The distance between the start and end locations on a 2D plane. This does not take altitude into account, similar to how map applications function. Useful for golfers.
• LOS (Line of Sight) Distance: The distance between the start and end locations in 3D space. This takes altitude into account, similar to how a range finder functions. Useful for shooting.
• Bearing: The bearing from the start location to the end location, in degrees out of 360º. Similar to a compass, 0º is north, 90º is east, 180º is south, and 270º is west. Useful for long-range shooting.
• Δ Height: The change in height from the start location to the end location. Useful for hikers.
• Angle: The angle from the start location to the end location, in degrees from -90º to 90º. Useful for hikers.
Measurement Log
Sometimes it's nice to keep a record of these measurements, whether to help fine-tune your rifle or to keep a record of your tallest climb. Every measurement can optionally be saved into a clean and informative log in order to keep track of what you've measured.
Material Design
Google's Material Design language has been revolutionary for the Android ecosystem, finally bringing an intuitive and clean look to phones everywhere. GPS Ruler carefully follows Material Design guidelines so that the app looks just as beautiful as the rest of your phone.
