Introduction

There's no need to guess when it comes to distances on a map because we've got an app that offers exact measurements from point A to B. The Map Calculator app for your iPod touch, iPad, and iPhone will accurately and easily give you that exact measurement. And don't worry: you don't have to keep the map simple as it can be as complex as needed and the calculator can still figure it out. The app will measure any area you want even if it's just the area of a football field as the developer points out.
