Feature request: Distance / azimuth measurement tool

Hello,

Currently there is a small scale in the left bottom of the map screen, for general reference.
But for map visitors / users there currently seems no way to measure distance and azimith between two set points.

Would it be possible to add a measurement tool / widget to the toolbox on the left?
For example, the user clicks on the tool, then clicks on two different points on the map, and a line appears with an exact distance number (meter and feet) and a compass azimuth.

This would be immensivly usefull for hikers, divers, survivalists and other outdoorspeople, when planning trips with MapHub maps…

Hi Sonar - from what I’ve seen in using Maphub, you can

  • use the marker tool to create two points
  • use the line tool to connect them
    *then scroll down the line item tab to see the distance - see screenshot

but I think that only works if you have editing rights, which show the tools. I guess that as map creator you could do the measurements on specific lines, and add a label with measurement (T tool).

Yep, this is in edititng mode indeed :slight_smile:

But im looking for a compass and ruler tool which can be used by visitors / viewers (not in editing)

@Sonar I’ve replied in email.

Currently this is not possible in viewing mode. The best solution is to download and upload the map to their own map.
