Thought this was worth sharing.

This little gizmo sounds like just what I have been looking for, the distance measurer bit that is. Quote from the write up:

"Take the guesswork out of map measurements by simply rolling the tip of this handy pen style measure along the desired route. Matching the measure to the map is as simple as entering the map scale on the unit's keyboard. Once calibrated, the distance covered by the wheel is displayed on the screen in either miles or kilometres. The unit also includes a calculator, thermometer, liquid filled compass, countdown timer, a clock with world time zones and small light for working at night. A handy travelling companion for anyone working with maps. Size 125(L) x 30(H) x 20(D)mm. Runs on 2 x LR44 batteries (supplied). Key chain included."

The price is just $20.oo
Available on sale at the moment through Jaycar electronics.
