SYMPTOMS
========
 
When you use the Measuring tool, an audible "twang" type sound plays and
the following message appears in the lower left corner of the Road Atlas
viewing screen:
 
   The measuring tool measures up to 30 sections only.
 
This occurs when you attempt to measure more than 30 sections
 
CAUSE
=====
 
Automap only measures between 30 points. The 30 section limitation is by
design.
 
RESOLUTION
==========
 
Limit the measured distances to 30 or fewer points.
 
MORE INFORMATION
================
 
Using the Measuring tool, you can measure the straight-line distance
between any two points or the perimeter of an area.
 
NOTE: You must have the status line displayed to see a distance
measurement. To display the status line, do the following:
 
 - On the Tools menu, click Status Line.
