Install Google Earth Pro (Free) and you can measure line of site or a path. You can also save the measurements for future reference. I use this feature just about every week to measure fishing and hunting trips. There is also a polygon measurement that will let you measure area like acres or sq ft.

Check out the Navionics chart viewer (Navionics.com). It has a distance tool you can use on bodies of water. As far as I know there is no charge to use the web app.

Lots of ways to skin that cat!

Since most people, including me, have Google Maps on their android phones, I thought this might be of help. I also have used both Google Earth and I own the non-free $10.00 Navionics app. I didn't know that the free version of Navionics also allowed this feature.

I can skin even more cats now!

I didn't download anything. Just bookmarked their web app link. In fact, I didn't think about it being used on a smart phone. I honestly don't know if it would work.

I do use Navionics on my fish finder. Like it a lot.
