When using the Windows PC (desktop version) of ILFYGPS, is there a key sequence, or mouse key sequence, to use when trying to determine the distance between two point. That is, the equivalent of the two finger touch on a tablet.

Thanks,
Steve

Single click (left mouse button) on the starting point. On the QV (Quick View) popup menu click More Options. Click "Measure From...". That puts up a measuring bar on the map, with a red end and a black end. The red end is already on your starting point. "Grab" the black end (left mouse click and hold) and drag it to where you want to measure to. It now shows the distance (and bearing).
