How to Measure Acreage Like You Would on Google Maps
Google Maps has a “measure distance” feature, but it’s fiddly for area and doesn’t report acreage in land units. This calculator is purpose-built for land:
- Pan to your location on the satellite map.
- Click each corner of the plot to trace its outline.
- Read the acreage — shown live in acres, hectares, square meters and square feet.
No switching between units by hand, no exporting to a spreadsheet — the land units you actually need are built in.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you calculate acreage on Google Maps?
Google Maps can measure distance and rough area, but it doesn't report results in acres or other land units. A dedicated acreage calculator like this one measures on the same kind of satellite imagery and shows the result directly in acres, hectares and square feet.
How do I measure acres on a satellite map?
Pan to your land on the satellite view, click around the boundary to place points, and the acreage is calculated automatically and updated as you go.
Do I need to sign up or download anything?
No. The tool runs in your browser with no sign-up. The Marea mobile app is also available on iOS and Android for measuring in the field.
Does it work on mobile?
Yes, it works in mobile browsers, and the Marea app adds live GPS, offline maps and saving for measuring in the field.
