Yandex.Maps is one of Yandex's popular online services that provides all the necessary information about places, roads, the location of various objects, and more. Its functionality includes not only displaying the most basic information, it allows you to plot a route and measure the distance from one point to another, independently setting the trajectory of movement. It is about the measurement of distance that will be discussed in our today's material.

The Yandex.Maps service is available for use both on the website, as a full computer version, and through a mobile application, which has many of its own features and differences. Let's consider these two options in turn, so that all users no longer have questions on this topic and everyone can cope with the task.

Method 1: Full version of the site

Next, you will see why you should use the full version of the site, because this tool is simply not available in the mobile application. Please read the guide below in its entirety to learn more about the feature discussed so that you can take full advantage of it.

1. Open the main page of the Yandex website by clicking on the link above. There go to the section "Cards".



2. Here you can immediately find the place you want to measure the distance to by entering data in the search box.



3. If the distance will be calculated only on the basis of two points, it is easier to simply get a route by choosing one of the transportation methods. Read more about this in our other material at the following link.



4. Now let's go directly to the tool that we mentioned above. It's called "Ruler" and allows you to draw absolutely any route with any number of points. Activate it by clicking on the appropriate button.



5. Then left-click on one of the places to create the first point. It will be highlighted with a characteristic circle.



6. Create an unlimited number of points to the end point, using different lines for turns and other details. If you have created one big line and need to change it by adding a point, just click on the desired part of the fragment and move it to the desired location.



7. As you can see in the screenshot, the length of the line is limited only by the map itself, and the end point always displays the distance in kilometers or meters.

Now you know how to measure distance in the full version of the service in question. Next, let's discuss performing similar actions in a mobile app.

Method 2: Mobile application

Unfortunately, the Yandex.Maps mobile app does not have a function "Ruler", which causes some difficulties when trying to calculate the distance. This can only be done as shown in the following instructions.

As you can see, the functionality of the Yandex.Maps mobile application is quite poor in terms of measuring distance, so it's best to do this using the full version of the site. Above, you were familiarized with the step-by-step execution of this operation, so there should not be any difficulties with it.

Google maps for many Internet users have become a universal tool for exploring the planet, laying routes, street view. But with all this, some users do not know about all the possibilities of this service. Today we will talk about a simple, but at the same time useful function - measuring distance on Google Maps.

There is nothing complicated about this - first we open the Google Maps service on the Internet maps.google.com. Next, we change the scale so that both points, the distance between which we will measure, are visible on the map. Right-click on the first point and select "Measure distance" from the drop-down menu:

After that, the label of the first point will appear on the map:

You can not stop there, but add other waypoints, and next to the last point the total distance will be indicated:

Distance measurement on Google maps is made in a straight line, but since the map is a two-dimensional representation of the globe, then when measuring large distances, the line will be displayed curved, while this will be the shortest distance between points:
