I can't measure distance on google maps. Is there any way to measure aerial distance of a point A to point But on Google maps instead of road traveling distance?
more_vert
Unfortunately, Google Maps does not currently have a feature that allows you to measure aerial distance between two points. You can, however, measure the road traveling distance between two points by entering the two locations into the search box and clicking on the Directions option. Once you have the directions, you can click on the 'Distance' tab to view the total distance between the two points.

I wasn't sure that this would be possible but it is now since they have added a measuring tool. To measure a distance you need to right click on any point on the map and select "measure distance". Then click on another point on the map to make a path and you will see the distance measured between those two points calculated in either miles or kilometers.

If you want to remove what you have done you just tap "undo" and to clear all points just choose More in the top right hand corner and then clear. Google maps has become such a handy tool now with so many features that I think sat navs will eventually take second place. Having tried both I much prefer google maps for navigation.

You just need to follow the mechanics in doing so. First, you need to open Google Maps and right-click the starting point. Then, choose measure distance and click the place on the map to measure it. Next, you can drag the the end-to- end points of the place. Once you did this, you will see the distance measure, either in miles or kilometers.

Google maps do not require you to measure distance because they have actual maps and location distances.You only need to touch the location and a starting point to get the actual distance.

There is no direct way to measure aerial distance on Google Maps. However, you can use the Google Maps direction tool to measure the road travel distance between two points. To do this, find the two points you are interested in and click the "Directions" button. Then, enter your start point and end point in the fields and click "Get Directions". The total distance will be displayed at the top of the directions.

There is no way to measure distance on Googlemaps without using the map. There are many ways to mark location on the map and that way, you can measure the distance between the points A and B. However, the way to do that on Googlemaps is by the number of lines (or "lines of evidence" in Googlemaps terminology) as opposed to the distance.

To measure distance on Google Maps, right-click on the starting point of your route and select "Measure distance" from the dropdown menu. Then click on any subsequent points you want to include in your route to calculate the total distance. You can also drag the points to modify your route, and Google Maps will automatically update the distance measurement.

Open Google Maps on your computer or mobile device.

Search for the starting point or location from where you want to measure the distance. You can enter the address or name of the place in the search bar.

Once you've found the starting point, right-click (or long-press on a mobile device) on the exact location on the map to set it as your starting point. A red pin will appear.

Next, search for the destination or the location you want to measure the distance to and set it as your endpoint using the same right-click (or long-press) method. A second red pin will appear.

Once you have set both the starting point and endpoint, a line will appear on the map connecting the two pins, indicating the route.

On the left side of the screen, you should see a card with information about the distance and estimated travel time between the two points. The distance will be displayed in either kilometers (km) or miles (mi), depending on your location settings.
