2. Distance Measurement Tool (Co-ordinate)
If the map console cannot accommodate the distance you would like to measure (due to loss of detail as you zoom out) we have included an alternative distance measurement tool for your convenience. The instructions on how to use this alternative method are below:
- Click on Create a map
- Under Create an OSNI® ACEmap® click Create Map
- Do Address Search for your property
- Zoom to property
- Click on map
- Move Arrow to centre of property
- Record Easting and Northing of property, to be found on bottom left corner of web page (round up to nearest 6 figure coordinate)
- Do address search for each property you want to calculate a straight line distance for
- Record Easting and Northing
- Open spreadsheet 'Distance Measurement tool' (link is below (point13))
- Enter your property address and Easting and Northing (replacing Colby House and it's Easting and Northing). The distances will all change because of the coordinate change.
- There are a couple of sample addresses which you can overwrite if you wish
- Enter each address and it's Easting and Northing and the straight line distance will be calculated (there are already large distances up to row 30, as the formula assumes that the Easting is 0 and the Northing is 0 and calculates the distance from your property to the origin of the Irish Grid i.e. Easting=0 and Northing=0. As you input your new Eastings and Northings, the formula will recalculate the correct distance)
