The good news is that accomplishing this isn't complicated or time-consuming. You just need to know the process. Here's how to calculate distance and measure area on Google Maps or Google Earth. You've probably noticed the scale on Google Maps at the bottom of the screen. This scale appears in the lower-right corner of the screen.
Sure, you could stick a ruler on your screen and measure the equivalent of a mile. You could also mark off the distance on a slip of paper and use that to measure the roads or trails you want to travel, but you don't have to.
Google Maps includes easy-to-use tools to precisely measure both distances and areas on the map that you're viewing. You can easily measure distance in Google Maps using these built-in tools. Choosing two points on the map will yield the shortest possible route between them.
You can also add multiple points to track a specific path more accurately. First, right-click on the starting point and select Measure distance on the menu that pops up. Click on your second destination on the map. Once this point is selected, Maps will automatically show the distance between both points. If you want to add more points to your measurement, simply click additional points on the map. If you want to trace a path instead of a straight line, you can add multiple points along a route to get an accurate measure of the distance you would need to travel.
This is especially useful when it comes to measuring the distance of a hiking trail, for example. You can also adjust points already on the map by dragging them to a new location with your mouse. As you trace the path, the distance will keep updating in the popup at the bottom of the map. Once you're done tracing the trail or road as best as you can, you'll have a precise measurement of the total distance.
When finished, clear out your traced waypoints and measurements by right-clicking on the map and selecting Clear measurement from the menu. Can you measure area on Google Maps? Yes, you're certainly able to measure area in Google Maps just as easily as you can measure distance. If you want to calculate area in Google Maps, you will need to zoom into the property that you're interested in.
Once close enough, Google will show the property boundaries if they are available. You can also switch between map and satellite view if this makes delineating property walls easier. Similarly if you using the area calculator tool to measure a roof with multiple levels, you should do the individual section separately.
Do not rely on this tool as your only resource in making important decisions. Measure perimeter We now also include the perimeter of the shape that you draw along with the area. This can help you to measure the the edge of a lawn, or the length of a fence. Toggle navigation Map Developers. Home Maps What county am I in?
