User Guide

1. Overview

GPS Land Measuring helps you measure:

The App supports manual coordinate entry and GPS/GNSS-based measurement.

It also includes saved-measurement editing, attachments, search, import/export, QR sharing, PDF reporting, and multiple map providers.

2. Map Providers

The App supports:

Choose the provider that best suits your location, connectivity, and preferred map style.

Map information can differ between providers.

3. Manual Measurement

Use Manual mode when you want to place or enter measurement points yourself.

You can:

Review all points before saving.

4. GPS Corner Measurement

GPS Corner mode records individual positions using the device’s GPS/GNSS receiver.

For better results:

The App may retain raw observations associated with supported GPS Corner measurements for measurement evidence and later review.

5. Walk Measurement

Walk mode records positions while you move around a parcel or route.

Typical states include:

GPS drift can occur even when you are standing still.

For best results:

The App may retain both accepted and rejected Walk observations as part of the measurement evidence.

6. Saved Measurements

Saved measurements can be selected from the map or from App lists.

Depending on the measurement type, you can:

Edits are transactional.

Changes are not permanently stored until you save them.

If you exit an edit session with unsaved changes, the App provides options to save or discard them.

7. Coordinate Systems

The App supports WGS 84 coordinates and supported UTM display/input workflows.

WGS 84 coordinates remain important for geographic interchange and map compatibility.

8. Calculation Method

The App currently uses:

Geodesic (WGS 84)

Distance, perimeter, and area calculations account for the ellipsoidal shape of the Earth.

Results may differ slightly from Google Earth, QGIS, ArcGIS, surveying software, or other applications because different systems may use different:

A difference does not automatically indicate an error.

9. GPS/GNSS Accuracy

GPS/GNSS accuracy can be affected by:

The displayed accuracy value is an estimate, not a guaranteed error radius.

For important measurements, repeat the observation and independently verify the result.

10. Attachments

Measurements and supported measurement points can contain images and videos.

You can:

Original media may contain embedded metadata such as location or capture information.

Sharing the original file may also share that metadata.

11. All Attachments

The All Attachments view allows you to browse stored media.

You can filter supported attachments and locate the measurement or point associated with an attachment.

12. Search

Use Search to locate saved measurements or points.

Selecting a search result can return you to the related location or saved object.

13. Import

The App supports compatible geographic import formats, including:

Imported data is validated before it becomes part of your saved App data.

Always review imported geometry and coordinates before relying on them.

14. Export

The App can export supported measurement information as:

Exports may contain more than the values shown on screen.

Depending on the format, they may include:

Review exported files before distributing them.

15. QR Sharing

QR sharing allows compatible measurement information to be transferred without requiring a Nicehave cloud account.

Measurement data may be stored directly in the QR code.

QR codes are not encrypted.

Only show or send them to intended recipients.

16. PDF Reports

The PDF workspace allows you to preview a report before exporting it.

Before sharing a report, review:

17. Offline and Poor Connectivity

GPS/GNSS measurement can continue independently of online map availability where supported.

Online Google Maps, Mapbox, and OpenStreetMap-based layers require network access to retrieve map content that is not already cached.

Loss of map connectivity does not necessarily mean the device has lost GPS reception.

18. Deleting Data

Deleting a measurement removes the App’s saved measurement record and associated managed attachments through the App’s normal cleanup process.

However, deleting a measurement does not remove:

Delete those separately where required.

19. Measurement and Legal Use

GPS Land Measuring is designed for general field work, mapping, and measurement assistance.

It is not a substitute for a certified professional or cadastral survey.

For:

use a qualified surveyor and appropriate professional equipment.

20. Report an Issue

Open:

About → Support → Report an Issue

The App opens your email application and prepares a message to:

support@nicehave.com

The report includes the App version and build number automatically.

You can describe:

No measurement files, coordinates, photos, videos, or logs are automatically attached.
