Almost all modern phones can do that for you also

Generally the Land Survey Department calculates each plot as Maximum 700 square meters even if you buy a plot of land which is less than 700 square meters e.g 578 sqms or 642 square meters.

They use this standard 700 square meters to measure and calculate your governor's consent fees even though it could be less than that.

Also 6 plots make one Acre, so its always best to get a surveyor from Alausa or the surveyor general's office to measure it for you thoroughly so as to avoid any future mago mago or miscalculation in your survey plan.

If your lucky enough to get a plot that is corner piece, i advice you to grab it immediately no matter the cost because its always more than 700 square meters but it will be calculated as one plot in your Governors consent calculations applications!
