Measuring in Google Earth!
The ruler tool in Google Earth is very useful when you are looking at a certain area and you want to get an idea of the distance. There is a checkbox that really never attracted my attention before. It is "Mouse Navigation". It is enabled by default. What is great is when you are looking at a specific area and you disable this, you won't be able to pan anymore. It will let you measure without worrying about moving your current view:

I found that once you have drawn a measuring line you can switch back to the mouse navigation mode and drag the map or zoom out. Then grab the end of the measuring line to extend it to where you want.
