Using the Measure Tool

The Measure tool can be used to calculate length and area from the map. Choose which measurement option you'd like (length or area) and your preferred unit of measure. Then click on the map to define the length or area to be measured.

To measure multiple links or segments, simply click to drop a way point. Double-click to finish adding way points to see the cumulative distance.

To measure area, click to define the first point of your area polygon. Continue doing so, and double-click on the last point to stop adding points and to generate the area.

The result is displayed on the measure tool panel.
