Uses
Pitch Gauge is used to determine the slope or pitch of roofs, and can also provide an estimate of the square footage when given the length, width, pitch, and cut level (complexity).
One of the more popular features is a pitch finder that enables users to determine the slope of a roof from the ground. This is made possible through integration with the device's camera.
