VI. d. Determining haul distances
          Estimated time:
          5 minutes
Just as you would use an engineer's scale to determine a haul distance on a paper map, you can use a measure tool in GIS to complete the same task.
In this exercise, you will:
  • Use the "Measure" tool to get an estimate of the haul distance for the material.

    Text Version:
    Left Click the “Measure” tool in the “Tools” toolbar >> Left Click the beginning site location >> Left Click points along a most likely path of travel until the final destination is reached >> The total distance traveled is equal to the “Total: ___ units” found in the lower left hand corner of the screen when the measure tool is placed over the final destination. >> Press the escape key to stop measuring.
