Google Maps now lets you know the exact distance between two points

You used to be able to get distance measurements from one point to another on Google Maps but this was confined to routing directions. Now, Google Maps on the Web browser lets you know the exact distance between two points. It doesn’t matter if there is an ocean or a building or a continent between them. All you need to do is right click anywhere on Google Maps and select the “Measure distance” option. It can also measure multiple distances, too, if that’s what you need to do.
