Description
I'd like to have a feature that lets me measure distances and even better the area of a plot of land. Example: right click in google maps, then select "Entfernungen messen" (clearly in the German version, probably something like "measure distance" in the English version...). Then each left-click adds a polygon line and the tool displays the total distance. If the polygon is closed, the area is automatically calculated.

Research direction
Review the requested map interaction: right-click should start measurement, left-clicks should add polygon points, and the interface should show total distance. Confirm that closing the polygon calculates and displays its area, with wording suitable for both German and English users.
