+ | There are three methods of measuring the distance between two points in Locus Map: | ||
+ | * **beeline measuring** - measuring of straight distance between two points | ||
+ | * **road distance measuring** - measuring distance of two points along roads and paths | ||
+ | * **track measuring** - measuring recorded distance is described in detail in [[manual: | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Beeline measuring ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | === Quick distance measuring === | ||
+ | The quickest way of measuring distance between **any two points on the map screen**. | ||
+ | * go to //Settings > Controlling > Map screen > Two finger measuring// - check | ||
