### Choose a measurement type

Choose which measurement type to use:&#x20;

* **Line** - measures **length** of all lines drawn
* **Polygon** - measures **perimeter** and **area** of shape drawn&#x20;
* **Circle** - measures **radius**, **area**, and **perimeter** of the circle drawn
* **Driving distance** - measures **length** of roads where **vehicles** can travel according to lines drawn&#x20;
* **Cycling distance** - measures **length** of roads where **bikes** can travel according to lines drawn&#x20;
* **Walking distance** - measures **length** of roads where **pedestrians** can travel according to lines drawn&#x20;
  {% endstep %}
