Distance

Choose "Distance" to measure the distance between two points on the map. Add points on the map using rules mentioned above. Near each point, the distance from the previous point is indicated. The total sum of all segments is shown in the pop up window. If the cursor is at some other place, the total sum will also include the distance to the current cursor position.
