Google Earth on iOS has been updated with one of the most requested features: a measurement tool.
Announced in a blog post, Google shared that after previously coming to Chrome and Android, it has brought the popular feature to iOS.
Ever wonder how far your hometown is from the North Pole? Or maybe, you simply want to measure the length of that hike you just finished. One of the most requested features for Google Earth is the ability to measure distance and areas.
Google shared some other useful ways to use the measure tool like checking out the size of a park in a new neighborhood before buying a home or teachers using it to create engaging lessons for students.
Or if you’re a teacher, challenge your students to measure the distance between Tokyo and Timbuktu; compare the area of Colorado and Utah or create math problems using the map.
The measure tool is live now in the latest version of Google Earth and can be found by long-pressing on the map or opening the overflow menu.
Google Earth is a free download on the App Store.
