Distance apps

DC:
Has anyone found a cell phone app that measures distance reasonably accurately? I'm not looking for record accurate. Just a quick measure.

Hawkdancer:
Don't know of a cell phone app, but a range finder may work, most are pretty accurate but spotting an arrow may be a challenge.

DC:
Apps are free ;). I downloaded one but it doesn't seem very accurate. I layed out a 30 meter tape and measured it a few times, every one was different between 33 and 48 meters

Badger:
   About a year ago I did find one that seemed pretty accurate. There are a lot to choose form.

I have been using an application called “Track Kit” on my iPhone for a few years. It is excellent and does so much more than just measure distances. It has made it possible to find arrows at the Salt Flats years later. I use it to map out Flight lines and mark where arrows were shot from, and where they landed. It also allows me to attach notes and pictures of the arrows at the points they are found so I can do things later like measure the angle they entered the ground. It records my search path for looking for the arrows so I can easily see where I have or have not looked. Finally, it saves time, date, altitude, and weather information at the time the arrow was marked.  Pretty cool.
