I built GeoUtil.com to provide a free, browser-based toolkit for geographic data analysis.

It offers: - Interactive Map Tools: Measure distances and areas directly on the map. - Data Format Converters: Convert between TopoJSON and GeoJSON formats seamlessly. - Coordinate Utilities: Perform conversions and other coordinate-based operations.

No sign-up required, and all tools run client-side for privacy and speed.

Built with open standards and designed for developers, educators, and anyone interested in geographic data.

Feedback and suggestions are welcome!

Some coordinate conversions need a date (as the plates shift over time). Are you planning to add that?

[korkoros]

I think adding something like (or awareness of datum transformations generally) would make the tool harder to use for its intended audience. If you need the level of precision where tectonic plate movement matters, then you need professional level tools.

Exactly unless I am not aware how much they move and it's significant number

[elsjaako]

The worst distances you can expect are around 1.5m (comparing australia in 2001 when gps accuracy was improved to now). But that number can be hard to figure out if you don't have a tool that allows you to set the time of conversion :)

Could you how a decimal point in the distance measuring tool? I want to measure distances in my backyard from the satellite photo and the rounded number makes it hard to be accurate

Good idea, I will add it! I did that before for Area tool but it's missing in distance tool. Thank you for the feedback!

à propos the distance tool, please let the user:

- type coordinate pairs by hand

- copy coordinates entered by clicking

otherwise, it's a great tool!

[FreeGuessr]

Thank you for the suggestion! I will add it.

GPX file support would be a great addition! Thank you.

[FreeGuessr]

Adding to TODO list. Thank you for the suggestion

you should have made it a Show HN, thanks for the discovery and for paintmymap!
