How do you measure the angle or slope on your driveway with your phone or tablet?

• iPhone has a built-in app called Measure. Switch to the Level selection and it will show degrees.

• Android phones need to have an app downloaded such as Clinometer + bubble level. Unit Mode of Degrees and Percent are the most popular settings – set in the Setting section. Use the arrow button near the measurement reading to change the side where zero degrees is shown when level.

For both applications: Make sure it is zero when placed level. Then place the phone either flat facing up or on its thin side on the driveway and hold it perpendicular to the driveway. Take the measurement in a few different areas to get the steepest measurement. The reading will be either in degrees for the angle or percent of grade. If you have been asked to determine the value, note if it is in degrees or percent and report this value to Xerowaste Solutions so we can determine the correct V-move load mover model and also ensure your V-Move load mover is configured correctly for the slope.
