Measure Distance On Maps. To move the map select the hand tool. Open the Maps app on your iPhone or iPad and then do the following to measure the distance.
A second point appears at this point. My suggestion if you need an alternative to Google Earth for geography-based distance measurement lessons is to try using Bing Maps or Google Maps in your web browser. Click on the map again or enter another search to set the second marker.
Select a location by clicking on the map or by using the the search box.
Then from the menu that appears click on Measure Distance. However if you use the technique above you can use almost anything - your pencil fingers or a twig - to get a distance and compare it to the map scale. Zoom in to your desired place. Distance between cities are now listed in Distance Between Cities by Country.
