Measure Distance on a Map (Pedometer)

The Distance Measurement Tool allows you to pick points on a map and it will total the feet, miles, or meters between two or more points. I recently used this to see how far I was walking.

NYC). Check out this video as well. It’s also a good way to get a second example of how to use Google Maps: Get started now: http://maps.google.com |
