What I'm trying to accomplish is that a user will be able to see the distance on the map from a starting point to the end point.
What I already know is that this can be accomplished with a point-to-point distance measurement using the map method toScreen to get the coordinates and then simply calculating the distance (using our old friend Pythagoras) between the two points, but I'm at a loss how to do this with the Draw toolset.

Instead of reinventing, is there a reason you are not using the measurement tool?
I didn't even know of the existence of the measurement tool 😕
I've implemented it, and it works fine, except for one thing: How can I use other measurement units than the standard choices. I'm particularly thinking of using nautical miles.

Unfortuantely it doesnt look like the measurement tool supports nautical miles, although i am not sure why. Maybe ESRI can comment on that.
