To use the Satellite Estimate Calculator to measure a property and calculate how much to charge for a service, go to the "Calculator Tab > Satellite View" tabs.

Start by either typing in an address or selecting an existing customer and property to measure.

Next, click the "Measurement Options" button to ensure they are the options you want to use.

For measuring units, you have the options to use: feet, yards, meters, or acres.

You can select how many decimal places you have in your measurements.

You can also select how many decimal places you will have in your rate.

Next, choose what you are measuring.

You can measure Buildings, Distances, Property, Area, or a Custom selection.

I chose red for the color of this measurement, but you can select any color you would like by clicking the colored square next to each measurement.

Click on the first corner of the property and then click on the remaining corners. The last line needs to connect to the corner you first clicked on.

I then entered the rate for this property (you can do this before or after measuring), and it calculated the total amount.

If there is an area that you need to subtract from the total area (such as a building), you can then select to measure and subtract it.

Make sure you enter the rate and choose what to subtract it from.

If you would like to save these measurements to the property, click the "Save Measurements to New Property" button if you entered a new address or the "Save Measurement to Property" if you selected an existing property at the top of the page.

To see this saved measurement, you will go to the Customer Tab>Properties

Find the property and click the pencil button.

You should see your measurements towards the bottom of the first section.
