Just keep in mind this follows a path along the ground, VS., as a crow flies. Helpful when hiking from A to B, NOT helpful when deciding if A is a good place to shoot FROM at an animal standing at B.

I have an app on my iPhone called "Topo Maps" and it has a good ranging feature for the purpose of determining shot distance. However, it only goes down to tenth of a mile increments. Similar to contour lines, it has a series of circles around your position, one at .1 miles, the next at .2 miles, etc.
 
Actually this feature will do the contour........Or at least mine does........It gives you 2 measurements.......Contour and straight line........It's a priceless feature for us old guys............... ;)
