You can measure the length of a property boundary, land parcel or any object on the map using the Distance tool on the right-hand side toolbar. The tool supports both single straight lines and multi-segment paths.
The Distance tool is available on Standard, Advanced and Enterprise plans.
How do I measure length using the Distance tool?
Search for a property using the address search bar.
Select the Distance tool on the right-hand side toolbar.
To snap your measurement to a property boundary, select the magnet icon beside the draw mode chip at the top centre of the map.
Click the first point on the map to start your measurement.
To draw a single straight line, double-click the second point to complete the measurement.
To draw a multi-segment path, click each point along the route to add line segments, then double-click the final point to complete.
To download an image of your map view with measurements included, select Export current map view on the toolbar. A PNG file will download automatically to your device.
How do I snap a distance measurement to a property boundary?
Snapping locks each point you place onto the nearest property boundary, so you can measure a frontage or a side boundary without clicking exactly on the line.
Select the magnet icon beside the draw mode chip at the top centre of the map to turn snapping on.
Select the Distance tool on the right-hand side toolbar.
Move your cursor close to the property boundary you want to measure. Click to place your first point – it will lock onto the boundary.
Click each following point along the boundary, then double-click the final point to complete the measurement.
To place points freely again, select the magnet icon a second time to turn snapping off.
Snapping works with the Distance tool, the Any Shape tool and the Rectangle tool. It is not available with the Circle tool.
