Click each corner of your survey area on the map, in order, to build a polygon — or paste coordinates directly if you already have them from another tool. Area and perimeter update as you go.

Limitations

Area uses a local flat-earth approximation centered on your polygon, accurate for typical drone survey sites (well within 1% for areas up to several km across) but not intended for very large or near-polar shapes.

Yes — note the hectare figure here and enter it directly into the Coverage Calculator to estimate flight lines, images and mission time.
