9.3 How can I measure distances on a chart?
You can measure distances to and from any point to another on a chart using the ruler
function. Simply by placing the cursor over a point, the latitude and longitude, range
and bearing point to point is displayed.
To set a new ruler:
1. Scroll and zoom the chart until you can see the places on the chart that you want to
measure the distance between.
2. Select Tools/Set New Ruler, or click the ruler icon on the standard toolbar.
3. Click on the chart to set the point you want to start measuring from.
4. Click on the chart to set the point you want to measure to.
A line will be placed between the two points showing the distance between them
and the bearing from the first point to the second. The latitude and longitude of
the second point will be displayed in the chart status bar.
To move a ruler:
1. Click and hold the cursor over the end of the ruler that you want to move.
2. Drag the cursor to the new point on the chart that you want to measure to. The
distance and bearing information will be updated.
To clear a ruler:
