Distance measurement

The distance measurement allows you to quickly calculate distances, bearings, or elevation changes directly on the map, without the need to create a track.
It is a fast and practical tool for obtaining quick measurements on the terrain.

Activate the distance measurement

Go to the vertical map toolbar > select the Distance measurement tool  

Once the tool is activated, you can work just as when creating a track:

• Add points on the map.

• Move or delete existing points.

• Freely draw the route you want to measure.

Interactive measurement

When you move the pointer about 200 pixels away from the last point, a floating indicator appears with the following information:

• Distance from the last point.

• Bearing of the drawn line.

• Elevation difference between the last two points.

This view allows quick measurements without opening other tools or saving the data as a track.

Properties window

The distance meter includes a properties window, from which you can access the profile graph of the measured route.
