How do you measure distances in Logos maps on a MAC?

    Rick,

    This is a real problem for distances less than a mile. Unfortunately, they use either the ghastly metric system or decimal fractions of a mile. They don't use furlongs and chains.

    Does the response at https://community.logos.com/forums/p/99596/697159.aspx#697159 give you what you need?

    EDIT: this only works in the Atlas, the other maps in Logos (e.g., the ESV Study Bible Maps) cannot measure distance.

    More about the Atlas here: https://community.logos.com/forums/t/92637.aspx

    Hi Integ,

    Merry Christmas! Thank you for helping my brothers & sisters who use Mac!

    For those who are using Logos6/Verbum6 and have not purchased a Logos6 upgrade, i believe you will find that maps in Biblical Places still has this feature (measuring distances).

    Please try this on your Mac to confirm my thoughts. In the command window type: open Biblical Places Maps

        

    Then when Biblical Places Maps appear, try using Command + dragging the mouse (or whatever you did in your post).

                 

    This can be helpful for us who did not purchase the Logos/Verbum 6 upgrade, but installed the Logos/Verbum 6 free upgrade.

    Thanks for all you do on the forums!

    Thank you, Steve, for the addition/correction. Measuring distances works on the maps in the Atlas and the Biblical Places. Happy New Year!
