Master Pace

To get the most accurate results with your Moasure device, it’s important to move with purpose. Moasure uses motion-based measurement, and the longer you move without pausing, the more error can accumulate.

That’s why pacing matters - and here’s how to do it right:

• Maintain a steady, confident pace Aim to walk briskly without rushing. Smooth, consistent movement helps the device track more accurately.

• Rotate slowly and smoothly as you turn Avoid jerky movements or sudden changes in direction. Keep the device aligned with your body as you move.

• Pause within 8 seconds of starting each movement “Pausing” means setting the device down to capture a measurement point. You don’t need to finish the whole measurement in 8 seconds - just break it into smaller segments and pause regularly.

Timer Bar Sections

To help you pace your movements accurately, the Moasure app provides both visual and audio feedback.

Timer Bar:

• White (0–6 seconds): This is your ideal window - aim to pause during this zone whenever possible.

• Amber (6–8 seconds): You’re approaching the limit - prepare to pause quickly.

• Red (8+ seconds): Accuracy may drop - avoid entering this zone.

Audio Feedback:

• A steady ticking sound starts immediately when you begin moving.

• After 6 seconds, you'll hear a beeping sound guiding you to start to pause.

• After 9 seconds, it switches to faster beeping, indicating you are well beyond the recommended timing.

Your goal: Pause confidently within the white zone, keep time in the amber zone to a minimum, and do your best to avoid reaching the red zone altogether.

Even though it may seem counter-intuitive, the quicker you move, the more accurate your measurement will be.

For Longer Measurements

If you're measuring over a longer distance, it's important to break the measurement into smaller, manageable segments:

• Pause at consistent intervals to stay within the 8-second timing window

• For example, if a full section takes 10 seconds to walk, divide it into two 5-second segments, pausing in between

This approach keeps your movement predictable and improves overall measurement accuracy.

Think of it like placing evenly spaced markers - it gives Moasure the best data to work with and reduces the risk of errors caused by long, uninterrupted movements.

Measuring Around Obstacles

Don't worry if you cannot move around an obstacle or obstruction within 8 seconds. You can pause as many times as you need to, for as long as it takes you to get around the obstacle.

If you don't want these pause points to be recorded on your measurement drawing, you can change the Path Type to Ignore Line before going around the obstacle.

Another way to measure around obstacles is to use the Ignore tool after your measurement is finished to remove pause points from your measurement drawing. Every time you ignore a point, the points before and after the ignored point will be connected.
