Comment utiliser ces guides

Start with the guide that matches your immediate task: distance for route length, area for land size, radius for coverage, and coordinates for exact points. Each guide links back to the relevant tool so you can read the explanation and then test the workflow on the map.

The articles are written for planning and early research. They explain common mistakes, unit choices, and accuracy limits so a quick map result is not mistaken for a legal survey, engineering record, or official GIS dataset.

For broader context, read the accuracy guide first, then move to the task-specific articles. That sequence is useful for property research, outdoor planning, local delivery zones, and classroom examples where the measurement method matters as much as the number.
