Roof Mapper is a Google Maps based tool that was developed for a roof engineer who needed a way to create detailed plans of buildings' roofs, in order to display where work needed to be carried out. However I'm sure the tool could be really useful in other contexts where plans need to be created for a specific area.
The application allows the user to select any area on Google Maps and then draw a polygon on top of the satellite view. For example, tracing the outline of a roof on a building.
After the roof's outline has been traced on the map the polygon area is then displayed on a gridded area beneath the map, which can then be printed out to use as a plan for what ever work needs to be completed.
Hi,
ReplyDeleteI'm the author of roofmapper and first of all thanks for covering it! Within the next few days I'm going to release a few updates to it including support for multiple objects on one map and measurement of the area selected.
If you have an idea for a cool new feature you'd like to see let me know!
