The military use them, sailors use them, motorists use them, town planners and draughtsmen use them, and still, just a few walkers use them. You run a little wheel along a route, a path, a road, a river, a line on a drawing, then either read off the result or measure against a standard.WaywisersThe first England and Wales road atlas was published in 1675. This seminal work, Britannia, comprised 100 maps and was created by map maker John Ogilby. It was the first to use a scale of one inch to the mile and to use the Statute mile of 1760 yards. Each vertical strip map in the atlas showed compass orientation and distances in miles and furlongs. Such accurate measurements had been made possible by surveyors measuring the roads. A favoured and accurate method was walking the ground with a surveyor’s measuring wheel, otherwise known as a perambulator or waywiser. Paying homage, both man and instrument were depicted in Ogilby’s Britannia, shown on the frontispiece and on two maps within.Face of surveyor’s waywiser" data-image-caption="Face of surveyor’s waywiser" data-medium-file=" data-large-file=" width="695" height="691" src=" alt="Face of surveyor's waywiser" srcset=" 695w, 1390w, 150w, 300w, 768w, 1024w" sizes="(max-width: 695px) 100vw, 695px">Face of surveyor’s waywiserSurveyor and his waywiser are shown on plate number 21- the Road from London to Holyhead. c1698" data-image-caption="Surveyor and his waywiser are shown on plate number 21- the Road from London to Holyhead. c1698" data-medium-file=" data-large-file=" width="800" height="543" src=" alt="Surveyor and his waywiser are shown on plate number 21- the Road from London to Holyhead. c1698" srcset=" 800w, 150w, 300w, 768w" sizes="(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px">Surveyor and waywiser are shown at the head of Ogilby’s ‘The Road from London to Holyhead’ map. c1698The idea of map measurers is an old one, probably as old as ‘to scale’ maps themselves. Beyond simple calipers, the earliest of map measurers, or opisometers, were very simple affairs indeed- little wheels on a threaded spindle that could be pushed along a line. With the wheel wound to one end of the spindle, the operator can run the wheel along any line on a map, and, if aware of the scale to which the map is produced, work out by the number of revolutions the distance travelled.

The code below shows how to use the x and y-axis and the onMouseMove function to create the gradient of objects:import Measurer from './Measurer';class Measurement { constructor(map) { this.map = map; this.measurer = null; } onMouseMove(e) { const point = { x: e.absolutePointer.x, y: e.absolutePointer.y, }; if (this.measurer && !this.measurer.completed) { this.measurer.setEnd(point); this.map.canvas.requestRenderAll(); } } onClick(e) { const point = { x: e.absolutePointer.x, y: e.absolutePointer.y, }; if (!this.measurer) { this.measurer = new Measurer({ start: point, end: point, map: this.map, }); // this.map.canvas.add(this.measurer); } else if (!this.measurer.completed) { this.measurer.setEnd(point); this.measurer.complete(); } }}export default Measurement;Building the grid system with Fabric.jsImport alpha, grid-style, Axis, and Point from Geometry. Before proceeding to the next step, create a constructor of the canvas inside the Grid class. Use the getCenterCoords function to get the coordinates, width, height, and states of the different shapes.Reevaluate the lines with the x and y-axis to calculate the options for the renderer and to recalculate their state. Then, get state object with calculated parameters ready for rendering. Finally, calculate the real offset/range:import alpha from '../lib/color-alpha';import Base from '../core/Base';import { clamp, almost, len, parseUnit, toPx, isObj} from '../lib/mumath/index';import gridStyle from './gridStyle';import Axis from './Axis';import { Point } from '../geometry/Point';// constructorclass Grid extends Base { constructor(canvas, opts) { super(opts); this.canvas = canvas; this.context = this.canvas.getContext('2d'); this.state = {}; this.setDefaults(); this.update(opts); } render() { this.draw(); return this; } getCenterCoords() { let state = this.state.x; let [width, height] = state.shape; let axisCoords = state.opposite.coordinate.getCoords( [state.coordinate.axisOrigin], state.opposite ); const y = pt + axisCoords[1] * (height - pt - pb); state = this.state.y; [width, height] = state.shape; [pt, pr, pb, pl] = state.padding; axisCoords = state.opposite.coordinate.getCoords([state.coordinate.axisOrigin], state.opposite); const x = pl + axisCoords[0] * (width - pr - pl); return { x, y }; } setSize(width, height) { this.setWidth(width); this.setHeight(height); } setWidth(width) { this.canvas.width = width; } setHeight(height) { this.canvas.height

BEVERLY'S APARTMENT, BATHROOM - NIGHT Beverly finishes peeing. She reaches for toilet paper but there isn't any. She rifles through the toiletries under the old fashioned sink basin looking for anything she can use- CHILD'S VOICE (O.S.) Help me. Beverly looks around for the voice, startled. CHILD'S VOICE (O.S.) (CONT'D) Help me, Beverly. It comes from THE SINK DRAIN, above her head. She stands, her pants still around her ankles, leaning forward over the basin, looking down into the dark void. BEVERLY Is s-someone there? Nothing. BEV'S EYE PEERS DOWN THROUGH THE CIRCLE OF LIGHT. CHILD'S VOICE (O.S.) We all want to meet you, Beverly. She gasps, backpedaling, pulling up her pants. BEVERLY Who are you? The single voice turns into a cacophony, bubbling up through the ages. CHILD'S VOICE (O.S.) I'm Matthew... I'm Dorsey... I'm Veronica... I'm Georgie... Come play with us down here... Come play with the clown... You'll float, Beverly. Oh how you'll float... 40. Terrified, Beverly dashes out. INT. BEVERLY'S APARTMENT, LIVING ROOM - NIGHT Bev finds HER FATHER (40s) asleep in front of the TV, still in his janitor's uniform from Derry Home Hospital. His toolbelt is thrown up on the coffee table. She tip-toes over and steals the TAPE MEASURER. INT. BEVERLY'S APARTMENT, BATHROOM - NIGHT Beverly stands over the sink basin, tape measurer in hand. The voice is silent. She unfurls the tape into the drain, its tip disappearing into the void. FOOT BY FOOT she snakes the tape into the drain, until it's fully extended at 20 feet. She waits for a voice. Nothing. Slowly, she begins to reel the tape back in, counting down the length as it winds back in. 16 feet... 15 feet... 14 feet... AT 13 FEET VISCOUS BLOOD COATS THE TAPE. BEVERLY GASPS and drops the measurer. It goes clattering into the sink, the tape coiling up like a snake, blood flickering everywhere as she stumbles back, tripping into the shower. BLOOD GOUTS UP FROM THE SINK DRAIN Like a demonic ejaculation -- blood splatters the mirror, the wallpaper, bouncing off walls and covering Beverly. She SCREAMS and runs out the door... INT. BEVERLY'S APARTMENT, LIVING ROOM - NIGHT ...into her father, who comes charging up the hall. She screams again, recoiling away. MR. MARSH What the devil's gotten into you, girl? BEVERLY The bathroom! Daddy, in the BATHROOM-- His arm shoots out and GRABS HER WRIST LIKE A VICE. 41. MR. MARSH Someone peeking at you, Bevvie? Huh? BEVERLY No... the sink... in the sink... He stalks

Made of plastic, Bakelite or metal. They can have handles incorporating plastic, metal, bone or ivory. Cheap versions were given away at petrol stations, or combined into all-singing all-dancing measurer/compass/thermometers made in China by the thousand. That said, they still work. The cheapest will do the same job as the most expensive gold plated measurer ever made, if not necessarily to the same degree of accuracy. They even make incredibly expensive digital versions today.

These flexible and stretch resistant measures are good enough as a rough indicator of distance while on trail.Vistascreen Pathfinder with Vistascreen BP Super measure" data-image-caption="Vistascreen Pathfinder with Vistascreen BP Super measure" data-medium-file=" data-large-file=" loading="lazy" width="3006" height="3411" src=" alt="" srcset=" 3006w, 132w, 264w, 768w, 902w" sizes="(max-width: 3006px) 100vw, 3006px">Cheaply made Vistascreen Pathfinder with Vistascreen BP Super measureThree Points of the Compass has taken a closer look at some particular makes and models of map measurers, including the Silva and Harvey measures mentioned above.

But if I do use an analogue map measurer on my paper maps while planning, it forces me to look at the terrain, the twists and turns, the type of country being crossed- across bogs, through woods, traversing moorland, traipsing through the backstreets of towns.
