When compiling experimental data, I needed direction data, but the only way to do so was to look at a handheld GPS receiver or a car navigation system screen and handwrite the direction.

However, car navigation systems cannot be transported to the experiment site, handheld GPS devices are expensive and uncommon, and there is a risk of misreading.

Come to think of it, the iPhone has a GPS function, so is there an easy way to obtain information from it? That request was the catalyst for creating this app.

Initially, I envisioned creating a function to easily convert GPS information into strings, since if I could convert the information obtained from the GPS function into a string and copy it to the pasteboard (that's what Apple calls it), I could then paste it into the standard memo function for saving, or exchange information via Mailer or Line.

After achieving this desired function, I investigated compatibility with maps and found that satellite images provide even more detailed information than map displays. So I started by wondering if I could obtain the size of a building or piece of land by placing multiple pins at any point on a satellite image and measuring the distance between them. When we actually measured it, we got good results as a guideline, although there was some ambiguity of about 5% to 10%. Encouraged by this, we added a location search function, a function to store measurement results, and a function to create and paste results into reports.

In sales situations in the construction and civil engineering industries, you can measure instantly when you need rough estimates right away, so you can discuss estimates on the spot.

If you send the data to a PC via email, you can pinpoint the location on a wide-screen map and include it in reports.

As a test, I surveyed the enclosure around the Sphinx.

You can easily survey various structures using satellite photos.

This app analyzes formulas and expressions when you input them,

and performs reverse calculations and fill-in-the-blank calculations.

Since it reverse-calculates elements from the answer,

there's no need to reverse-expand formulas!

From loan calculations and split-the-bill calculations to electricity calculations,

bring it on!

For example, you can reverse-calculate the original price and discount rate from the selling price.

The compact iPhone now comes with the ability to learn Morse code.

You can even learn while commuting to work.

The microphone can also pick up Morse code sounds and demodulate them into text.
