[QUOTE="richg99, post: 294275, member: 4376"] On Google EARTH, there is a handy tool useful for measuring distances between various points.................TOOLS/RULER.... I also use Google MAPS often. Often, when I was in MAPS..I would have to switch over to EARTH to find out the paddling distances on a future trip. Yesterday, I asked on the Google MAPS forum if the ruler was available on MAPS as well. IT IS! I have posted ---below--- the answer I got. Incidentally, if you want to measure in miles; yards, or anything else, you have to check "I am geeky" or something like that. You are then given a long list of various measurement units to choose from. Otherwise, everything comes up just in feet.... regards, Rich ************************************************************************ GMapperHF Post reply Jan 5 (9 hours ago) At the lower left corner of the Google Maps window there is a ruler icon that provides similar functionality. If you don't see the ruler icon, access the "maps labs" link located at the bottom of the white area to the left of the map window. From within Maps Labs, enable the distance measurement tool.
