By accessing or using MapTools at map-tools.com(the “Service”), you agree to be bound by these Terms and Conditions. If you do not agree, please do not use the Service.
02Description of Service
MapTools is a free, browser-based collection of geographic measurement tools. It allows users to:
- Find and convert GPS coordinates (DD, DDM, DMS, UTM)
- Measure distances and paths on an interactive map
- Calculate land area and perimeter of drawn polygons
- Draw radius circles and compute derived measurements
- Run offline geo calculators (bearing, midpoint, bounding box, unit conversion, speed/ETA)
The Service is provided free of charge, requires no account, and imposes no usage limits.
03Accuracy & Intended Use
MapTools is designed for general-purpose estimation and informational purposes only. Although we use geodesic math on the WGS84 ellipsoid (the same standard as GPS), results should not be relied upon for:
- Navigation or aviation routing
- Legal surveying or property boundary determinations
- Safety-critical or emergency applications
- Any purpose where errors could result in personal injury, property damage, or legal liability
Always verify results with a licensed professional or certified instrument before making important decisions.
