Moving slowly might seem like it would increase accuracy. However, Moasure uses advanced motion sensors that continuously measure during movement and records data every time the device stops moving.
With motion-based measuring, error increases over time, not over distance so quicker movements lead to more accurate results.
Using advanced inertial sensors, accelerometers, and gyros, Moasure captures X, Y, and Z (elevation) coordinates when the device is moved from one place to another.
To ensure optimal accuracy, it’s important to pause at regular intervals to record data points, since measurement error accumulates over time, not over distance. Additionally, gently placing the device is crucial to avoid shocking the sensors and to maintain precise measurements.
When placed gently and kept completely still, Moasure calculates and records a point with X, Y, and Z values.
The first point recorded in a measurement is always the 0 point (X:0, Y:0, Z:0).
Subsequent X, Y and Z (elevation) coordinates are calculated and displayed relative to this origin.
Advanced algorithms compute the overall linear distance and area based on these points.
If your Linear Distance measurement totals 300ft - the accuracy is within ±0.30%, resulting in a potential error of up to 0.9ft.
If your Perimeter measurement totals 300ft - the accuracy is within ±0.5%, resulting in a potential error of up to 1.5ft.
If your Elevation measurement totals 300ft - the accuracy is within ±0.30%, resulting in a potential error of up to 0.9ft.
If your Area measurement totals 300ft² - the accuracy is within ±1%, resulting in a potential error of up to 3ft².
If your Volume measurement totals 300ft³ - the accuracy is within ±1.5%, resulting in a potential error of up to 0.167yd³.

To achieve maximum accuracy in motion-based measurements, follow these three key techniques:
Pace: Walk at a fast pace between measurement (pause) points.
Placement: Place the Moasure device down quickly and gently without hovering.
Rotation: Rotate the device gradually, not abruptly, to avoid shocking the sensors.
By adhering to these techniques, you can ensure the highest possible accuracy in your Moasure measurements.
