Google's augmented reality app "Measure" turns an AR Core-compatible Android smartphone into a digital measuring tape. This application seems simple in terms of use. We simply start Measure, point the phone's camera at an object, then select ...

I do see "tape measure" apps, but they look like they are more for short distances you can see through the camera. I also thought about a pedometer app, but i'm not sure how well they work. Anyone have anything they can recommend?

https://www.daftlogic.com/projects-google-maps-distance-calculator.htm is a very easy and free way to do it, otherwise Strava, Mapmyrun and a few others have this functionality usually behind a paywall.

Seems like a cool thing to play around with and get a better instinct for distance plus I live in a place with a lot of mountains so it would be cool to see how far the mountains are even if it's a rough computer estimate but even if I can't do it that far even somthing that is only accura...
r/C25K
Agreed - it does have a lot of options and features so might be on the complicated side for what op is looking for, but they can be ignored and the actual run/walk recording function is decent - probably the best free distance-based exercise app 👍

Long press a location on Google Maps. Pull up the menu on the bottom and you'll see a measure distance option.

I recently got into running and after getting stuck in a rut of not improving my distance, I decided to start using a tracker. I tried Strava, Nike Run Club, and more, but although some of them had really great qualities they all lacked the simplicity I really wanted. So I made Miles - Running Track...

App for your phone called, funnily enough, "Measure". It uses your camera and you click the start and end points.
r/trailrunning
Strava common one. I have tracked on Gaia before as well and it works fine. Both apps you can utilize tracking without a subscription. Gaia will pop up a login screen for Outside but you don’t need an Outside account to use app and track.

Komoot is good for tracking your walk. If it's just steps and distance you are after Google Fit is good ... Seconding Garmin. A bit expensive but really worth it. I use mine mainly for tracking steps and walks, and didn't want one I had to charge ...

I just don't like that it doesn't auto pause if you take a break. Strava does not count breaks towards your average speed which is nice. Id say both give a pretty good estimate of your average speed. ... Strava. Syncs with your other health/ exercise apps and the free version provides the ...
