Comment(by martinl):

 Replying to [comment:11 hamish]:

 > sounds fine. I'd consider the additional step of disabling the tool
 after showing that message. Maybe with "Geodesic distance is not yet
 supported by this tool, try d.measure or m.measure.", or something. (apple
 usability guide: an error message should say what the trouble was, and
 give a hint about where the user should look next/for more info)

 Bearing in mind that we don't expect that wxGUI users know Xmons I
 wouldn't note `d.measure` or `m.measure` (no ctypes in relbr64). Would be
 r45898 enough for now?

 BTW, I have updated `m.distance` in r45895, check also r45897 for wxGUI
 measuring tool in LL-locations.
