To measure distances between points use the "Measure" tool
in the top tool bar. Hold it down to see the selection of measurement
tools. The app currently calculates the distance between two points, the
azimuth between two points, the length of a line and the area of
polygon.
Point Distance¶
-
Select "Point Distance"
