Google Maps has more uses other than just providing you with general directions. You can measure distances and areas on the map with it. You can only do this on its website though, as the app doesn't support it yet.
Open any web browser and go to the Google Maps website.
You can use the location button on the lower right corner to set the map to your current location, or you can use the search box on the upper right corner to find another place on the map.
Finding the current location—Click the compass button on the lower right corner of the page. The map will adjust based on your current location. Your current location will be identified by a blue dot on the map.
Finding another location—Use the search box and type in the location you want. A shortlist of possible results will drop down. Click on the location you want, and the map will automatically draw to the location you've set.
Initiate the distance measuring function.
Right-click anywhere on the map, and a context menu will appear. Select “Measure distance” from here. A small black circle will appear on the map. This is your point.
Since you're measuring an area, you have to enclose it within a shape. Move the first point to the spot where you want to measure to position it in the first corner of the area.
Click on another corner of the area you want to measure. A second point will be created there, and it will be connected to the first point via a line. You can drag these points to adjust them to the exact locations.
Since you're measuring an area, you need at least three corners or sides, forming a triangle. Click on the third corner of the area you want to measure. Another point will be created there, and it will be connected to the previous point via a line.
If you're measuring a triangular area, click on the first point instead to close the area.
