The next tab includes some classic and important GIS tools such as: 

  • Distance measurement

An important function is the measurement of a distance. It gets activated by clicking on the ruler’s symbol. The user can click on the map on the point of interest and start creating a line. The measurement stops by clicking again on the last point. A list with the measurements is created where the user has the option to zoom in the area or delete the measurement .
