Plot Measurement Made Easy: Unleashing the Power of Google Maps for Netting Structures

To measure your plot for a netting structure using Google Maps, you can follow these instructions:


1. Open Google Maps: Visit the Google Maps website (maps.google.com) or launch the Google Maps app on your mobile device.


2. Locate your plot: Enter the address or location of your plot in the search bar to find it on the map. You can also zoom in and out to get a better view of the area.


3. Activate the measuring tool: On the left side of the screen (on the website) or at the bottom (in the app), you will find a menu with various options. Look for the "Measure distance" or "Measure distance & area" tool. Click on it to activate the measuring tool.



4. Start measuring: Place the initial point of measurement by clicking or tapping on one corner of your plot. A point marker will appear at that location.



5. Measure the sides: Move along the edges of your plot, clicking or tapping on each corner to create a connected line. Google Maps will display the distance between each point, allowing you to see the length of each side.



6. Complete the measurement: Once you have measured all the sides of your plot, double-click or tap on the final corner to complete the measurement. Google Maps will show the total distance around your plot.



7. Take note of the measurements: Write down the measurements for each side or the total distance, depending on your needs. You can also take screenshots or capture the measurements using the Google Maps app.


8. Consider additional details: While using Google Maps, take note of any significant features or obstacles that may affect the installation of the netting structure, such as trees, buildings, or uneven terrain. These details will help you plan the installation effectively.


By following these instructions and utilizing the measuring tool in Google Maps, you can obtain approximate measurements for your plot, helping you plan for the installation of a netting structure. It is important to keep in mind that these measurements may not be as precise as physical measurements taken on-site, so it is recommended to verify them by physically measuring your plot if possible.
