Ruler

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What new or enhanced feature are you proposing?
A measuring method to find the distance between two points.

What goal would this enhancement help you achieve?
Since this software is used in real-time, users also need to know the distance 
between two points.

The distance between two points depends on the route taken...
Now; We could get the SHORTEST distance between two points (a straight line). 
Is that what you mean?

Yes, since we are not using vectors now, a straight line will do. That way we 
can guesstimate the distance to your destination when the user is using GPS in 
real-time and so can make decisions depending upon the distance left to travel.

Completed the following:

1) Ruler: Since F7 was unused, I have used it for toggling Ruler mode on and 
off. The status bar has been used to display segment distance and total 
distance. One can keep on clicking to add segments of straight lines to find 
out the distance.

2) Smaller Marker: Since I found the marker.png to be too huge, added a 50% 
size of this image with a new name marker_s.png.

3) Marker Name: Displaying the marker name in the map instead of only Markers.

Since this is my first python contribution, I stand to be corrected.
