MapDraw lets you draw lines directly on a map to measure distances quickly and accurately. I created it as a simple tool for planning and exploring routes without the overhead of complex navigation apps. Whether you’re scouting a new running route, planning a walk, or just curious about distances between points, it gives you a straightforward way to measure what’s on the map. Draw your route, and instantly see the total distance update as you go. No tracking, no accounts, and no third-party libraries. It does exactly what it says—and stays out of your way while doing it.
