Your First Measurement

Learn how to measure perimeter, area, curves, and obstacles using your Moasure device.

1. Prepare Your Measurement

• Clear debris from important placement points where possible.

• Choose a memorable starting point (such as a corner) so you can finish in the same location.

---

2. Set Up Your Moasure Device

• Open the Moasure app and tap the + icon to start a new measurement.

• Select Closed Shape as the measurement type.

Turn On the Device

• Raise the Moasure device or STICK upright.

• Rotate it gently back and forth through approximately 180° until the LED flashes blue.

Capture Your Starting Point

• Place the reference point against the starting corner or edge.

• Hold the device still until the LED changes from red to green.

Your first point is now captured.

3. Measure the Shape

Straight Lines

• Walk at a quick, steady pace between pause points.

• Pause while the timer bar is in the green zone, or no later than amber.

Curves with Trace Line

• Use Trace Line to capture curved edges smoothly.

• Walk naturally along the curve while Moasure records the path.

• Trace Line remains active until you change path type.

Obstacles and Rounded Areas with Arc

• Use Arc when you cannot measure directly around an obstacle.

• Capture:

  • the start point

  • midpoint

  • end point

The Moasure app will generate a best-fit arc automatically.

4. Improve Accuracy

• Divide long runs into roughly equal sections.

• Place the device quickly but gently at each pause point.

• Keep a light grip when using the STICK.

• On grass or uneven surfaces, use the vee of your hand to stabilise the STICK.

• Switch between path types as needed:

  • Straight Line

  • Trace Line

  • Arc

Continue aligning the reference point with the edge you are measuring.

Pro Tips

• Practice a few measurements before starting important projects.

• Use pause points to prepare for the next path type.

• A quick, smooth pace improves accuracy more than moving slowly.

• Keep placements controlled and gentle.
