    Longimeter

    Definition

    A longimeter is a transparent sheet of plastic with a regular grid of lines inclined at an angle of 30° to the sides of the sheet. By counting the number of squares occupied by a linear feature on a map (such as a river) for six different rotations of the sheet, the length of the feature can be determined.
