Meander overview

Meander lets you measure routes, shapes, areas, anything that you can see on your screen. Simply draw your line with mouse clicks on a nearly-transparent window, set Meander's scale against a known distance, and read off the answer in the unit of your choice. A selection of units included, e.g., miles, kilometers, metres, feet, inches. Add any further units you like -- if you want to measure the world in nautical miles or even tea-trays, you can! Useful for engineers, architects, walkers, runners, cyclists, and no doubt many others too.

I just noticed that I was using an older version of Meander and wanted to download the most recent version, but was not able to do so. Instead I got a message that the account is on hold. Will this be resolved soon, or are any alternative download locations available?

I love this app! I've been using it since it was called Metro and was still an alpha. I'm glad to see the app continued development and I plan on purchasing a license soon, as it is extraordinarily useful for online maps such as Google Maps & gulesider.no. It's so simple it's almost embarrassing that no one has made something like it before.

I do hope Meander still is actively developed. There is an annoying bug (mentioned in the developer forum) that still is not fixed. The program crashes when one tries to add distance markers (using the latest OS and Meander versions on an intel mac).

Been trying this today and using it to plot routes for my planned increase in exercise. I downloaded a map of my area/neighborhood and have plotted out .5 miles, 1.0 miles, etc. All different. It's GREAT! I don't know if it will work for me personally, but this is a cool, easy piece of software! And for FIVE BUCKS?? YESSSSSS!!!!

Excellent product. Just what I've been looking for - I'm a regular walk leader and I frequently need to estimate distances for walks. No more fiddling with dividers or bits of string - Meander is just the job, and really easy and intuitive to use.
