This tutorial demonstrates how to implement and use basic measurement tools in your mapping application. Geometric measurements allow users to calculate distances, areas, and other spatial properties directly on the map, providing essential tools for spatial analysis and data interpretation.
You'll learn how to:
- Create different types of measurement geometries (points, lines, polygons, rectangles, circles)
- Activate various measurement tools programmatically
- Handle measurement events to capture data at different stages
- Process measurement information in GeoJSON format
- Track measurement changes in real-time
Measurement capabilities are fundamental for interactive mapping applications that require spatial analysis. This functionality enables users to quantify geographic features, calculate distances between locations, measure areas of interest, and make informed decisions based on accurate spatial measurements.
