There are three ways of measuring the distance between two points in Locus Map:

• (1) beeline measuring - measuring of straight distance between two points
• (2) road measuring - measuring distance along the road.
• track measuring - measuring distance that was passed is described in detail in track recording >>

The first and second method is provided by the Add new route&Measure feature. If you need to measure distance between your actual GPS position and any point on the map, switch Line to GPS on in Settings > Map - objects&style:

• Menu > More > Add new route & Measure
• the function can be added to the Function panels for quick launch

The feature displays additional controlling items to the main screen as is described in Route planning >>:

• make necessary settings - e.g. select routing service if you want to measure road distance using route calculation
  
  • Menu > Settings > Navigation
  • or route computing dialog > navigation settings
• set starting point
  • shift map screen center at the desired spot - quite accurate method
  • select location by the location selector - depending on selected method the starting point location can be defined very precisely, e.g. by coordinates or postal address
  • quick add - fastest method but not accurate, places points on the map by plain tapping your finger
• add waypoints - use any of above mentioned methods to add waypoints - a measuring line stretches between each waypoint showing the distance (1), the total distance is displayed in the upper left corner (2). Tapping the digit changes its units (m > ft > yd)
• remove waypoints - use in case you want to start a different measuring - you can go back by removing points and then repair the measuring by adding new ones. Or you can delete whole route by tap-and-hold.
