First: The Area Tool Enhancement
Your measurement results will say more with less! Now, when you take an area measurement, you can subtract out an area(s) you do not want included in your final result without using the A- Tool (for example a mulch bed in a turf area, or a turf island in a parking lot).

Once you complete an area measurement, right click on the completed measurement and choose "subtract area" from the right click menu. Trace around the object you wish to subtract out of the measurement. When finished, Go iLawn will adjust your measurement result in the results panel accordingly- without listing an additional measurement result!

Second: The Labeling Tool Enhancement
Your Site Map capabilities have just been taken to the next level! You can now move labels to a different location in the photo. Whenever you take a Go iLawn measurement, we will assign a default label to it that appears where you began your measurement. 

By right clicking on the label in the photo, you can move the label to a different location in the photo, as well as change the font, size and color of the label. This enhancement applies to both measurement labels and labels created with the labeling tool on the tool bar.
