    I'd like to find out the distance from Alftantes Iceland to Crumlin, Dublin.
    I'm sure there must be a way to do this on Google Earth but can't figure it out.
    Anyone know?

    (The reason I want to find out is because I saw a tagged Brent Goose in Sundrive Park and have found out that it came from Alftantes in Iceland - I want to know how far that bird flew!)

    Many Thanks

    Have both places vsiible on screen, then click the "ruler" button in the toolbar (4th from the right in the version I have), click on one point to measure from, and then wherever you move the mouse to it will show the distance, or else you can click on the other point.
