Distance Tool: measuring distance and bearing on the chart

Sometimes you just need a quick answer to "how far is that, and in what direction?", without setting up a full route. That's exactly what the Distance Tool is for.

Press and hold the distance icon inside the zoom and scale window, and a ruler appears directly on the map. It instantly shows you the accurate distance and bearing between two points, no route planning required.

From there, you can drag the starting point, the end point, or the ruler line itself, and the distance and bearing update in real time as you move. While dragging, your selected point sits with a slight offset from your finger, so your view isn't blocked and you can position it precisely.

It may seem like a small tool, but it’s a genuinely handy one whenever you need a fast distance check between two spots on the chart.
