Description
Disclaimer: This application is only as accurate as your phone's GPS. It will not accurately measure short (< 20 y) distances, due to the accuracy of GPS.How far did I hit that golf ball?
How far out did I set my target?
How steep was the mountain I just hiked?
It's often useful to know the exact distance between two points, but it isn't always practical (or cheap!) to bring a specialized tool such as a rangefinder. This simple, polished tool allows you take measurements using your phone's built-in GPS from a start location to an end location. Unlike a tool such as a rangefinder or tape measure, this application calculates distances based on GPS locks. It can measure across a backyard or across a nation and retain complete accuracy. It's as simple as tapping a button at the start location and then again at the end location.
Measurements
• XY Distance: The distance between the start and end locations on a 2D plane. This does not take altitude into account, similar to how map applications function. Useful for golfers.
• LOS (Line of Sight) Distance: The distance between the start and end locations in 3D space. This takes altitude into account, similar to how a range finder functions. Useful for shooting.
• Bearing: The bearing from the start location to the end location, in degrees out of 360º. Similar to a compass, 0º is north, 90º is east, 180º is south, and 270º is west. Useful for long-range shooting.
• Δ Height: The change in height from the start location to the end location. Useful for hikers.
• Angle: The angle from the start location to the end location, in degrees from -90º to 90º. Useful for hikers.
Measurement Log
Sometimes it's nice to keep a record of these measurements, whether to help fine-tune your rifle or to keep a record of your tallest climb. Every measurement can optionally be saved into a clean and informative log in order to keep track of what you've measured.
Material Design
Google's Material Design language has been revolutionary for the Android ecosystem, finally bringing an intuitive and clean look to phones everywhere. GPS Ruler carefully follows Material Design guidelines so that the app looks just as beautiful as the rest of your phone.
Convenience
Smartphones are the modern toolbox; it's something most people take absolutely everywhere. This app sits in your pocket for wherever and whenever you need it. There's no need to take a bulky range finder or tape measure; this application is ready any time you need to take a measurement.
We're strong believers in the idea that you get what you pay for. If you have questions, feedback, or suggestions, please send us an email at mkubiak.dev@gmail.com; it's the fastest way to offer feedback and suggest features for GPS Ruler

Questions & Answers
Q: What is an APK File?
A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.
Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?
A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading).
As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.
Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?
A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.
Q: What are Android App permissions?
A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.
