Hi, I need a measuring distance application on my mac. I remember a long time ago there was a program that suited my needs. All you had to do was click were you wanted to measure and then it would tell you the distance it was away from another object. Does anybody know what this program is? Can anybody offer any similar programs?

You can do that with google earth, two ways. You can get driving directions and that will tell you distance. You can also use the line tool that will draw a straight line between two points and give you the distance as a crow flies.
