Where you have a drop down box next to metres I have miles and no drop down box.

Google maps will do areas too, right click at first point and click measure distance, then keep clicking to put corners in, and once you're back to the start click on your first point to complete the shape and area comes up at the bottom in m2, divide by 10,000 to get ha

Thanks

The Magic aerial map for my area is at least 10 years old. The Google Maps one is much newer (2014)

We must have a different IACS computer system in Scotland?

The Scottish system has measuring tools built in.

This one is brilliant, it has been on here before.

Zoom in and out of satellite with a background of many different - some very old maps, does areas and lines too.

The satellite image used by Bing was taken in Sept 2011 in my area. I can see my drill going & have the records to see what day that was. How old is yours? I know the age of the images varies a lot, even on Google Earth.

As does the Welsh one, which makes life far easier. Perhaps we're spoilt (for a change)?

Measure your land app on iPhone pretty accurate when compared to IACS maps.

I found that it was not accessible after I had returned my SAF. It would be handy if it were.

I used it several times last year. Under 'interactive map' under one of the tabs.

I didn't look far enough. That's great. Thank you.
