The NDIC Map -- Really Cool -- October 10, 2022

Link to the map here.

Use the "+/-" icons to zoom in / zoom out.

For blogging, there some features of the previous map app I liked better but, wow, this new map app is incredible.

One example: measuring distance.

There are five "icons/emojis" below the search box.

The middle one, a ruler, is for measuring distance.

Example:

First, using the "+/1" emojis/icons, zoom in to area of interest.

Then, click on the "ruler."

When the next dialogue box opens up, click on the second icon/emoji from the left, another ruler, with left/right arrows.

The default: miles. But you can measure distance in a number of units, including feet. 

You have to leave that dialogue box open when using it / measuring distance.

Click on "origin."

A green dot will appear.

Now move mouse to next spot, and click. Voila. Distance.

Now, and this is the great part, Move the mouse to the next spot and click and get the updated distance. 

Lots of fun. Couldn't due it with the previous mapping app. 

If you close the map app by clicking on the "x" the distance app will cease functioning.

To clear all that from the map, open the distance app again, and click on "clear."
