Area Calculator for CommCare

Area Calculation Tool for CommCare

The Area Calculator for CommCare is an innovative application specifically designed for integration with CommCareODK, a powerful mobile data collection platform developed by Dimagi Inc. This tool leverages GPS technology to enable users to trace paths and calculate the enclosed areas accurately.

How It Works

By utilizing GPS capabilities, this application allows users to walk around the perimeter of a given area. As they traverse the boundary, the app traces their path and calculates the total area encompassed within that perimeter. This makes it particularly useful for surveying land or measuring spaces where traditional measurement tools might be impractical or time-consuming.

Integration with CommCareHQ

Designed to seamlessly integrate with forms built on CommCareHQ, the application provides a robust solution for data collection and analysis. Users can follow the straightforward instructions available on our website to incorporate this tool into their custom forms. Once integrated, the app can be invoked directly from these forms, enabling real-time area calculations and enhancing the efficiency of surveys and data collection processes.

Open Source and Community-Driven

The Area Calculator for CommCare is open-source software, fostering a collaborative environment where developers and users can contribute to its improvement. The project's source code is hosted on GitHub, where users can find detailed documentation, report issues, and propose enhancements. By participating in the development process, users can help shape the future of this versatile and valuable tool.
