It's a program that let's you double click on points on a map and measure distances. You can zoom in & out. You can save routes.

I did an APPROIMATE line draw around the Villages and it came out to 25 miles.
The thing is there's no real long straight lines. It's kinda shapped like an egg.

Do you know how to use "Pi" ?

(I've forgot) And don't know if it works on an egg.


Anyway you might find it fun to play with.
