This update brings two powerful new tools to Coordinates: area measurement and custom coordinate trimming. Whether you’re working in the field or fine-tuning data output, this update makes your workflow faster and more flexible.
🔧 Trim Output, Your Way
Need to tailor how coordinates are shown? Now you can:
Set custom X/Y labels
Choose your preferred separator
Adjust decimal precision
Apply optional trimming from the end
A live terminal-style preview helps you dial in the exact format you want. And once you’ve got it right, the app remembers — no need to set it up again.
📐 Area Measurement with Closed Shapes
You can now measure area directly from distance pins:
Tap Close Shape to seal your measurement loop
The app will calculate the enclosed area
Choose between m², km², acres, or hectares
Distance and area results update instantly — even bearings and segment distances
If your shape intersects itself, we’ll show a warning so you know the area may be off.
We’ve now built a fully featured area and distance tool right into the Coordinates app — completely free.
If you just need quick and casual measurement, our dedicated Area & Distance app is still a great option.
✨ Fancified Export & Import – Now with IDE-style Syntax Highlighting
We just gave our coordinate export/import screen a serious glow-up.
No more walls of plain text—now when you paste or generate data like:
Each tag and attribute lights up in different colors, just like in your favorite code editor. <gpx>, <ext1>, <wpt> — all color-coded and easier to read at a glance.
🖋️ Supports:
Live syntax highlighting as you type
Dark mode compatibility
Shared color themes by tag prefix (e.g.,
<ext1>and<ext2>share the same style)Copy-friendly formatting for your GPS or survey workflow
Whether you're exporting a quick pin list or re-importing from a GPX file, you’ll feel like you're editing clean code, not wrangling raw data.
More Small Improvements
Last segment distance updates correctly when closing shape
Undo removes the final segment and area cleanly
Smarter formatting for area results
Fixed picker display for dark mode
