Convert Google Maps meters to yards
The Google Maps "Measure distance" tool is great, and this extension makes it even better. Made especially for golfers that don't rely on meters, you'll now be able to see distances in yards.
How to Use the Extension:
1. Open Google Maps.
2. Right-click anywhere on the map and select “Measure distance.”
3. Click on the map at least twice to plot your points.
4. Continue adding points along the golf hole — the white distance box at the bottom will automatically display the converted distance in yards.
Note:
The extension only converts line distances (not area).
It won’t display conversions for closed loops (when the first and last point overlap).
Distances equal to or greater than 1 km won’t be converted.

- It doesnt work if google maps is set to default with meters

- Doesn't work for me unfortunately. 90ft converting to 9 yards

- Simple extension, works great
- Garrett Thompson
- Exactly what I was looking for! Quick and easy to use. Works exactly as described. Only thing that could make this better is if the yardage distance didn't disappear when changing the distance. Might not be possible though, either way this works great!
- Doug Aita
- No more calculator! This is perfect!

- Golf is exactly the reason why I needed this. Thank you! (Jay below probably just needs to restart the browser after installing the extension; That's what I needed to do and it works just fine).

- It doesn't work for me...any suggestions???

- Thank you so much! For anyone confused, on desktop, just hover over the meter measurement after you make two points with your curser and it works.

- Awesome! Thanks James. This has bothered me for years. I use it for golf exactly as you described. Now if you could add a feature that would allow me to start from the green out to a lay-up distance, then start over back to the tee box. Right now, I have to clear measurement then start a new distance. I know, not a big deal, but now that you have spoiled me...
