Click on the icon on the horizontal tool bar. This is the Measurement tool. Choose to measure a distance, area, or location, as shown in the figure below:




Measure Area


The Web Map allows you to use a measure tool to annotate your current view of the map. By using points, lines and shapes you can measure distances and areas right of the Web Map. Why would I use this? If you find yourself asking how big is that parcel or building?, how far is my commute to work?, can I put notes or labels on the map?, then the redlining and measuring tool is for you!
