"Google Maps on the desktop has been updated with\u00A0a new feature that lets you work out the distance between multiple\u00A0places by plotting your route on the map.\r\n\r\nTo use the option, you just need to right click anywhere on a map and select 'Measure Distance' and then select a destination\u00A0to see the distance between two points. Additional stops, turns or destinations can be calculated\u00A0with additional clicks. You can also drag any of your dropped route lines if you want to tweak them a bit or if you want to make them align with actual roads for more accurate route measurement, for example.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nThe feature had previously been available under the\u00A0experimental Google Labs options but is now available as part of the main service. Although generally useful for anyone planning a roadtrip, it also means you can now use Google Maps to plan a new morning run or cycle ride by distance, or draw a little man over a park, should you wish.\r\n\r\n\u27A4\u00A0Google Maps [Google\u00A0+]\r\n\r\nFeatured Image Credit - PEDRO LADEIRA/AFP/Getty Images"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
