iPad How do I measure distance in Apple Map app?

I believe if you try to get directions between some points you should get the distance between them.

 

I don’t think it is. It’s a feature I’ve wanted for a while too.

 

You can with Google Earth

Edit: Sorry - forgot what forum I was reading!

 

iPad Apple maps: Set up two points, say home to next town.. Overlay panel shows time & distance when address on overlay is tapped.

 

You can get driving distance between ANY two points as follows only:

1 - Enter a name or address into the search field, and choose one of the suggestions

OR
Press and hold your finger on any location on the map​

2 - Tap the blue Directions button,

A new screen panel appears with the words:
To [Your Destination]
From: My Location​

3 - Tap "My Location", tap delete key
4 - Type a new "FROM" location into the search field. Choose one of the suggestions

The driving distance will appear in the bottom panel
