Was wondering how hard it would be to make a tape measure feature. Something like google earth has. Plus maybe a polygon tool. What Im trying to use it for is mapping food plots on the map. So I can figure out acreage. Just a feature I would like to see if it is feasible enough for you guys at topofusion. Im not expecting it to be done just a suggestion. If it was done that would be a added bonus lol

I'll have to check what the tape measure does in GE, but you can use the draw (pencil) tool in TF to measure distance, either straightline or along a polyline.
Further, if you draw a ~polygon with it you can then save it out to a GPX file, right click on the track and do "compute area." This could be made more obvious, but the functionality is there.
The only thing you can't do is shade a polygon.
Hope that helps.

Alright thanks Scott didn't realize the pencil tool measured distances. I always could import a picture of the shape of polygon I wanted then position it as well through the add user map feature.
