With a help of such features as Track Player, Distance, Area, Address, Routing, Hittest, Nearest units, and LBS Detector you can measure the length of polyline or just a distance between two

point, analyze movement tracks, etc.

- To add a point, double-click on any place on the map;
- To insert a point, double-click on the segment between two points;

Any tool can be minimized or closed with two corresponding buttons

Besides, these windows can be dragged over the screen. Their custom
position is stored (for each tool individually), and next time they will
be opened in the place they were closed the previous time.
Measurement system applied to tools which require online calculations
(such as Distance, Area, Address, Routing, Nearest units) is taken from
the settings of current user (see User Settings. Measurements for tools associated with track processing (such as Track Player, Hittest) are borrowed from units' properties.
