Tape measure?

Hi all,



A simple and extremely useful addition to the software would be to have a 'tape measure' tool that could be used to measure the difference between two points. I know it can be done by drawing a route, but if I have already planned my flight and want to know an accurate distance between two points en-route, such as the exact length of a water crossing, I feel something like this would be more useful than the chart scale.



Cheers.

Agree it would be a nice feature - but with the addition of the ipad shifts become a bit harder to do!

Like the idea of - click the measure button, tap the start point, tap the end point line is drawn showing distance and vector - tap the measure button or dbl-tap the line to clear the line.

That is remarkably similar functionality to google earth measure.
