Suggestion: ruler with distance and angle

[PlanGFlyer]

Maybe there's something in the actual release of plan-g and I didn't find it...
my suggestion is a "ruler" kind of measuring instrument, so I select two points and get the angle and distance between them.

At the moment, I get angle and distance for navaids.
I even get angle and distance by creating two waypoints, connect them and look in the flight plan
(afterwards, I have to remove them from the flight plan, then delete them).

But what I'm missing is a fast method while in the mid of the creation of a flight plan (VFR) to check the distance between my last waypoint and a point-of-interest.

At the moment, I estimate the distance and angle or use the distance circles (imprecise).
My wish is a function to select two points (outside the actual flight plan) and get angle and distance

Right-click on the map. Select QDM: Range and Bearing. Move the mouse. Range and bearing are displayed in the Information popup. Select it again to turn it off.

Sorry, forgot to check the topic but today, I need the function again, so...
after I first tried your advice, I didn't see any "information popup", but a red line.

Did various steps - but nothing.
Then I got it: the mysterious popup window could be made visible by "View" -> "Information" and now I know why there's a topic "lock/unlock info panel" by right mouse clicking.

Many thanks from a slow-brainer  ;)
