A "Distance From/To" button would be useful

I am extrememly pleased with my Sky Demon packages and they certainly make flying more fun. However, there is one facility that I would like to see in the Mobile software, and that is a facility for quickly finding one's distance from/to a position on the screen. For instance, when flying towards a destination it is easy to see the distance to go on the small box already on the screen. But when asking for MATZ penetration or in many other situations when you want to provide a fast accurate present position to a controller, it seems to me more difficult. I think it would be very useful if there could be a button that one presses followed by pressing on the wanted position (say the edge of a MATZ) and it caused the distance and bearing to come up on the screen. For example....

12.5NM on 273 deg Radial

Something similar may already be included in the software that I have yet to find and if so, could you tell me how to access it.

Many thanks
