MEASUREMENT OF DISTANCE AND AREAS

Measure a distance of a route or an area to observe within map.army .


OVERVIEW

The military map generator supports the measurement of distances and areas in
the metric system as well as in the imperial units:

 3. The ‘Measure Tools’ for distance and area are displayed in the bottom left
    corner of the main window
    


MEASURE DISTANCE

The distance measurement displays the distance between two points. In case of
measurement of a route with multiple points the tool displays the distance of
the sections as well as the overall distance. In addition, the bearing between
the two points is displayed.


To start measuring a distance:

 1. Press the ‘Measure distance’ button (button turns blue)
    

 2. Click onto the map to set the starting point

 4. Double click to end the measurement (pressing ‘Esc’, ‘Space’ or right click
    are also supported to exit the measurement)


MEASURE AREA

The measurement of an area calculates and displays the area between three or
more points on the map.


To start measuring an area:

 2. Click onto the map to set the starting point

 3. Every click will add a point for measurement

 4. Double click to end the measurement (pressing ‘Esc’, ‘Space’ or right click
    are also supported to exit the measurement)

units can be set in the ‘Unit of Measurements’ pulldown in the ‘Options’ menu.
