-This provides the ability to measure distances using geodesic (shortest path) algorithms. The results returned are similar to those used by Google Earth and makes for a nice baseline of distances. It also includes the heading from the first point to the second and a heading from the second point to the first. The units are in degrees. The units of distance can be meters, kilometers, feet, yards, miles, and nautical miles. Simply click on the ***Geodesic Measure Tool*** icon and start clicking on the map. Notice that the ellipsoid used to calculate measurements is listed in the lower left-hand corner. By default this is set to ***WGS 84***, but it can be changed in the ***Settings*** menu.

If measuring individual line segments the attributes are a label, distance, units of measure, azimuth/bearing to the next point, and the total distance of the geometry.
