Learn to Measure Distances in Google Maps for Running, Biking, or Hiking
Google Maps makes navigating your world faster than ever before and you know that there are no compromises when it comes to Google. Your beloved Google Maps offers satellite imagery, street maps, as well as 360° real-time traffic conditions (Google Traffic), panoramic views of streets, along with route planning for traveling by foot, car, or public transportation.
If your wish is to know the precise distance between point A and point B while running, biking, or hiking, be sure that you can do that in Google Maps.
After all, getting directions in Google Maps lets you easily see how far away the destination is and makes you feel in control all the time. In such conditions, I see no reason for not using this feature on your own Android device too.
