Check the position quality

Export options for a measurement in Dipper Area Measure

Reports and exports

Share a PDF report, or export your measurement for mapping and design software. Supported formats include DXF, KML, GeoJSON, and GPX.

* Centimeter-level positioning requires a compatible RTK receiver, a correction service, an internet connection, and open sky. Results depend on the equipment and conditions. Phone GPS is typically accurate to a few meters; map tracing depends on the imagery and where you place points.

RTK improves the positions captured from a receiver. It does not make satellite imagery or points traced by hand more accurate.
