Here is a quick example of how handy google earth pro and the ruler tool is as wanted to find out quickly online roughly the size of this block paved area to be cleaned 

[Smurf]

Again here is another example to quickly find out online roughly the linear metre of this 3 storey gutter clearing job.
That site has 20 residential buildings of that same size  so comes to aprox 2,600 metre of guttering to be checked and cleared

That's very decent that smurf ......... I will have a go at this, not to good on the old internet stuff but that looks pretty straight forward

That will come in perfect for me that ........ If I can download without having to get one of me girls to help that is

[Smurf]

It's very easy to install and use Matty 

[Smurf]

Does anybody else use this now?
If so what do you think?

Can also make awkward hard surface cleaning jobs to measure a breeze too as you can see from this example job.

Brilliant, most of my quotes are from looking at Google earth so this should be a great help.

Cheers.
