... let me measure how far two points are from each other. Not driving directions, but point-to-point, or, in the vernacular, "as the crow flies." Can someone point me to a site that can do that?

I don't know of a website, but couldn't you just use a ruler and compare it to the scale on the site? I know google maps provides a scale, so you would just need to compare the distance to that...

Google Maps

Enable the rule function thingy

There should be a Maps Labs link in the bottom left of the screen.

Click on it and enable 'Distance Measurement Tool'.

The ruler should be on the bottom left of the map area.

Well I'll be damned...well played, Google. I keep forgetting to look out for your Lab options...

Great! I KNEW Google Maps would have such a function but just couldn't find it.

I have it enabled. Let's see if I am lucky! Thanks!!!

Intrinsica... I'm already damned so this just makes it one level more of damnation.
