A measuring wheel, also known as a surveyor's wheel or clickwheel, is typically used to measure long distances. It consists of a wheel attached to a handle, connected to a counter that records the number of rotations made by the wheel. By rolling the wheel along the ground, users can accurately measure distances.

What is the unit of measure you would use for measuring long distances?
For long distances use " Measuring Wheel". These give readings generally in Feet which can be converted to any unit by appropriate multiplication factors. Some of these are 1-GRIP ON 10000 ft measuring wheel, 2-Stanley 77 194 MW408 12" Aluminum Wheel Measuring Wheel In Feet/Inches
What kind of distances would you choose to make measurements in kilometers?
Small distance or height is measured in millimeter. Larger quantities are measured in kilometers.
When measuring long distances in customary units other than miles what metric unit of measure would you use for the same distance?
