Measuring Distances
Measuring Distances Between Two Places
You can get an idea of how far two points are from each other by using the
Measure Distance
feature. This
feature measures from point to point in a straight line. It does not consider roads.
To measure the distance between two points, make sure you are currently viewing the Map page. Then,
press the unit or remote
MENU
key. A
Menu
page will appear. Select
Measure Distance
from this page. An
on-screen pointer (a blue thumb tack) at your current physical location (or current point) will appear on
the Map page. In our example below, the current location is the Midland Theater.
Touch a point anywhere on the Map page. A dotted line that extends from the on-screen pointer to your
new point will appear:
Coordinates of your map
pointer
Item under your map pointer
Distance and direction
from the thumb tack to
the map pointer .
The coordinates of the
new location you
selected (the Bistro).
The new location, the
Bistro, is .1 miles and
244° from the thumb
tack.
