You can use this distance calculator to find out the distance between two or more points anywhere on the earth. In other words, the distance between A and B. Click once on the map to place the first marker and then click again to position the second marker. The distance between the points will then be displayed. You can also build up a series of locations to find a total distance.

An important feature of this distance calculator tool is that it is "as the crow flies", so traveling in real life will normally involve larger distances, but this may also help those who need to measure off-road distances.

Clearly you, the user inputs two 'points' that are used to calculate the distance. Calculating the "As the Crow Flies" distance is a matter of using Great Circle formula. Then the main problem is converting the Google Map unit to miles and kilometers.

The map will also automatically save your route in your temporary internet cookies so that you can return and see the route as you last left it. If you ever need to start from scratch then use the [Clear Map] button.

Map showing the distance between Belfast and Dublin. As far as I can see this is an accurate estimate (if there is such a thing). This trip would be approximately 100 miles by road so the proverbial crow would have less distance to travel.

When I measure a line on the map between two points collected with high-accuracy GPS, it is usually within an inch or two of the same distance measured with a tape measure. This obviously depends on the accuracy of the GPS, but it's close enough that I'm confident it is not measuring in web mercator. The distortion on this line is more than 30' when measured under web mercator in ArcPro.

This is good, but I want to understand how it's getting there. I had assumed it would be measuring in web mercator, because the base map and feature layer are in web mercator, and the location profile is using web mercator as its coordinate system.

Use this tool to draw a line on a map and find its length. This line can represent the outline of a property, a running route, hiking trail or to trace the outline of any border on a map. Fence companies can use this to quote the price of a fence based on the length given to them by a customer, or by looking up a customers address and then drawing a line around the perimeter of where the fence will go. This can also be used to find the approximate length of gutters on a building, or the perimeter of any property. You can even share the map with your customer or your customer can share thier map with you to confirm the measurement is correct.
To measure the distance between 2 exact points try our mileage calculator, or to find the exact distance use the distance from/to tool.

One handy feature is the ability to measure the real-world distance between any number of selected points. This way, you can quickly find the straight-line distance between two cities, or the approximate distance along an irregular path by placing multiple points like breadcrumbs.

4. If you want to measure a more complicated path, you can continue laying down additional points by clicking. After each new point, you will see the distance at the bottom of the page update.

5. When the pop-up disappears, move the map until the target is positioned over the new location where you want to measure. (Note that you're moving the map, not the point.) Then, at the bottom of the screen, tap Add point. You should see the distance in the lower left of the screen.

6. If you want to measure a longer or more complex path, you can continue adding points. To do that, move the map again and you'll see that a new line segment appears with a new target. When it's where you like, tap Add point again. After each new point, you should see the distance update.

Quick tip: You can't move a point you've already added to the map, but you can remove the most recent point by tapping the Undo button at the top of the screen. To start over, tap the three-dot menu at the top right of the screen and choose Clear.

Yes, you can use the measure distance tool to trace your walking route and calculate how far you walked. It might be worth investing in a Fitbit band if you want to keep track of all your stats while walking or running.

How do I measure between two dropped pins or between my current location and a dropped pin using Apple Maps on iOS? I want to measure say 20 feet away from my location or from a dropped pin. I would also settle with using the coordinates of those two locations to measure the distance between them.

How can I draw two free-hand traces and measure Min, Max and Avg distances between them. Obviously expressed in the terms defined by the current spatial calibration.
Thank you very much in advance.

Hi Jose,
could you define your problem a bit more, please? The min distance between two ROIs makes sense, but what is the average distance between two ROIs? We could also find the maximum distance between ROIs, but that sounds strange to me.

Maybe I got the question wrong, and you meant to measure distances between pairs of ROIs (with e.g. 10 different ROIs) and find the min, max, and average between those distances. Then we would only need to specify the distance we measure (from ROI border, their bounding box center, or their barycentre) and we could write a macro to do this.

Hello Tom,
The procedure works fine as long as both strokes stay fairly horizontal. I am not very confident that this is the most appropriate procedure, if eg. both traces curve downwards (or upwards), evidently the vertical distance does not represent the actual distance between both traces.

dear @Jose_Pellegrino ,
I just have a doubt about why you are tracing the lines instead of considering the canicular as an object.
In this case, you can use also the local thickness plugin (based on Distance Transform, but with some refinement, moreover on the edges and corners of the area)

The ImageJ wiki is a community-edited knowledge base on topics relating to ImageJ, a public domain program for processing and analyzing scientific images, and its ecosystem of derivatives and variants, including ImageJ2, Fiji, and others.

I am skeptical about the Local Thickness plugin in the sense that when the local thickness is bigger, then there are more pixels in the image with that value, making an average kind of biased towards the thicker parts.
One way we had of dealing with this was to consider the local thickness value only at the pixels representing the skeleton of the shape. Though in this case the skeleton would not work, I would then use the median line, which again I could calculate with a Distance map by taking the difference between the two maps.

I agree with your skepticism and we also dealt with it using the skeleton.
But even without skeleton, I am not getting why you are not liking the estimation of the width in this case, if you measure the distances by hand you get quite similar values to the thickness estimation in more or less all the region.

The Measure distance feature offered by Google Maps allows you to measure the distance between two points on a map "as the crow flies." You can also plot an irregular route between two points, which is helpful if you want to do something like use Google Maps with the new Pixel Watch to measure your morning run.

Google Maps is one of the most useful default Android apps and ranks among the best apps available on Android OS. Don't fret if you have an iPhone or iPad. You can download Google Maps from the Apple Store. The steps below show you how to measure distance in Google Maps on any mobile device or desktop web browser.

The steps for measuring distance on Google Maps are the same whether you're on Android or iOS. You can use this method to measure a straight line or one with several junctions. Follow these quick instructions to get the job done:

Google Maps shows you the distance covered as you move the map and add pin markers. You can use two markers for a straight line distance or use more markers to see the overall distance of a route with several segments. You can't see the individual distances between markers if you use multiple. Google Maps only displays the total distance of the route.

You can still use the Google Maps Measure distance feature if you're doing more in-depth geographic research using a computer web browser. Here's how to measure distances in Google Maps when you're using your desktop or laptop:

Like the mobile app, Google Maps measures the distance in real time as you move additional markers around. The only difference is that it also shows each kilometer or mile along your line in addition to the total distance of your route.

The Google Maps Measure distance feature is a useful tool, but it's only one of several great ways that this app helps you in your day-to-day life. It's worth learning about a variety of Google Maps tips and tricks, such as viewing your location history or downloading offline maps. This app is sure to come in handy no matter how you choose to use it.
