Site measuring tools

[Landartma]

I just came across this measuring tool called Moasure.  Any opinions or alternatives to it?  I know VW has the GIS but it seems limited to larger scale or sites with limited cover.

I have the same question, did you do anything about using Moasure. I am especially interested in how VW would deal with measures and how useful its information would be for making existing grades.

Accuracy is, according to their web site, +- 0.5% on a 12 ft long line, so +- 18.3 mm. So, in my experience it does not seem better than the lidar apps I have used for the iPhone 12/13 Pro. Seems rather expensive relative to what it does.

I did not do anything about Moasure.  There seem to be systems popping up daily.  I did buy a Bosh laser tape measure.  Gotta say its pretty awesome.  Tough when measuring down a straight wall.  You'll need to make a target.  Mine is my note book jammed into what ever I can find.  My understanding, talking to some civil engineering friends, is that I'm way behind the times when it comes to site measurements.

I use a regular laser measure. Aiming at the target can be a pain, especially when there are things like furniture or foliage in the way.

 

And it's not much good for outdoors measurements on a sunny day.

 

And while it can give me very accurate straight-line measurements it won't give you relative elevation heights. Those always have to worked out after the event.

 

I can see the attraction of the device in the OP. Presumably these types of things are going to become gradually cheaper and more commonplace.
