Setup of the program is straight forward. You simply enter the distance (in inches) of the PDA from your eyes. You basically measure the distance of your hand from your face, while your arm is fully extended. You also enter the size of your Pocket PC screen. Once these measurements are entered, you're ready to go.
Pocket Rangefinder comes with several different pictures that you can use to measure distant objects. There is a man standing, a car, a plane, a deer, a door, and an arrow. You choose which picture you want to use to compare to the objects you are trying to measure the distance of.
Pocket Rangefinder's developer describes the program this way:

Who would use Pocket Rangerfinder? I guess just about anyone. I don't often find the need to measure the distances of objects but if you do, you can check this program out. It's simple to install and easy to use.
