The Area tool is designed to measure the perimeter and total area between the objects. To draw a polygon, follow the same directions as for polyline creation. The perimeter and total area are indicated in the instrument’s window.

Note that for users with metric system of measurement the area value is given in hectares, for users with U.S./imperial — in square miles and square feet.

Use the Reset button to clear the map and draw a new area. To close the Area tool, click the cross in the upper right corner.
