+ | ==== Beeline measuring ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | === Quick distance measuring === | ||
+ | The quickest way of measuring the distance between **any two points on the map screen**. | ||
+ | * go to //Settings > Controlling > Map screen > Two-finger measuring// - check | ||
+ | * measure distance by touching the screen with two fingers at once. Magnifiers will help you place the measuring points precisely.\\ {{ : | ||
- | The first and second | + | === Cursor to position line === |
- | * <wrap box>Menu > More > Add new route & Measure</wrap> | + | Another |
- | * <wrap box>the function can be added to the [[manual: | + | * go to // |
+ | * a line with the distance and azimuth stretches between your position and the map cursor\\ {{ :manual: | ||
- | The feature displays additional controlling items to the main screen as is described in **[[manual: | + | === Route planner === |
+ | | ||
+ | | ||
+ | * **total distance** between first and last shaping point is displayed in the **bottom bar** | ||
+ | ==== Road distance measuring ==== | ||
- | ===== Measuring instructions ===== | + | **[[manual: |

- | * //Menu > Settings > Navigation// | + | |
- | * or //route computing dialog > navigation settings// | + | |
- | * **set starting point** | + | |

- | * **remove waypoints** - use in case you want to start a different measuring - you can go back by removing points and then repair the measuring | + | |
- | <WRAP round tip >**Route computing** - useful for exact road measuring. Turn it on, add waypoints and Locus Map will compute the route between | + | |
+ | * tap in the **starting point** | ||
+ | * **shift cursor at the final spot** | ||
+ | * **add a route shaping point** - you can add as many as you need | ||
