Welcome to the Free Map Tools iOS App. This app allows iOS (iPhone and iPad) users to make use of various mapping tools on their devices.
Free Map Tools is a collection of tools based on maps. These tools allow you to perform various functions for a wide range of applications. You can measure distances and areas. You can also send or share the map as an image to indicate the area, route or radius you have plotted.
General Tools

- The Measure Distance tool lets you plot a route on a map and find out the distance covered in various units. It also uses your GPS sensor to plot the route automatically
- The Area Calculator Tool lets you draw an area on the map and find the measurement of the area enclosed.
- The Find How Far I Can Travel tool will show how far you can drive or walk within a set time. For example, how far can I get if I drive for 60 minutes from my current location
- How Far is it Between allows you to find the road and crow-flies distance between 2 addresses. It also shows both routes on the map
