Apple Maps Distance Between 2 Points Is there any way to measure the distance between 2 points in Apple Maps? I want a straight line. I do not want directions. I do not want driving distance. I do not want distance from my current location. In Google Maps, it is as simple as a right-click on a pin. (By the way, a Google Maps right-click works as intended when viewed in Chrome, but not when viewed in Safari.)

How do I measure distance between two points using Apple Maps (geometric distance, not driving distance) How do I measure between two dropped pins or between my current location and a dropped pin using Apple Maps on iOS? I want to measure say 20 feet away from my location or from a dropped pin. I would also settle with using the coordinates of those two locations to measure the distance between them.

Show ruler in Freeform app on iPad I'm new to Freeform and was using to map an outdoor lighting plan for my patio. I don’t know what I did/touched, but a ruler showed up on the page (movable), diagonally across the left bottom corner. I didn’t want it at the time and I was able to delete it. However, now,I’d love to have it back to measure my distances. Anyone know how to get it back? Most of my searches say a ruler isn’t available…but I had it once (magically and inexplicably). Thanks.

Ok. Figured it out. What you do is -

1. Go to Apple maps

2. Locate the place from where you wanna measure.

3. Mark the location by tapping and holding.

4. Add it to ‘my places’

5. Go to ‘my places’

6. The Distance will be showed between your current position and the place you marked.

I searched, but the main result is https://www.apple.com/au/maps/
