First things first, you'll need to be on Google Maps. You can access it on your computer or mobile device. Once you're there, here's how you measure distance like a pro:
Find the two places you want to measure the distance between. You can do this by typing in the addresses or just clicking and dragging the map.
Once you've got both locations on your map, right-click on one of them. A little menu will pop up. Click on "Measure distance on map".
Now, click on the map to add points to your measurement. Each click adds a new point, and Google Maps will automatically draw a line and show you the distance between them.
