[IDV #JPO-648577]: Measuring Distance In IDV

Hi Jacob-

Under the Displays->Special menu there is the Range and Bearing control that 
allows you to measure distances.  The default unit is set in the global 
preferences (Distance unit).  You can change the displayed unit on the fly 
using the control's Edit->Change Display Unit... menu.
