When Do We Use the "Draw a Line on Map" Tool?

A straight line represents the shortest distance between two points on a flat surface. This principle, based on Euclidean geometry, applies to flat, two-dimensional spaces. While real-world routes are rarely straight due to factors such as terrain, road networks, and obstacles, drawing straight lines on maps can provide an initial estimate of the distance between points.
