The instrument used to measure the total distance that a car has traveled is called an odometer.
Miles
-- ruler -- tape measure -- meter stick -- yardstick -- car's odometer -- laser rangefinder -- split-image rangefinder
A tape measure.
A RADAR gun is typically used by police to measure the speed of an auto. Using stop watches to measure the elapsed time over a known distance would also give the average speed. A dynamometer can also be used to measure tire rotation in a stationary situation and be converted to an equivalent speed.

A plotting compas (like a pair of compasses used to draw a circle, except both ends have needles) A Metric/Imperial rule also helps but if the map has a scale at the bottom, one is not essential.We measure distance on a map by consulting the scale on the map. It is a small diagram in the legend that sets down some linear measure as a reference. The line will be marked out in, say, miles, tens or even hundreds of miles or kilometers.the scaleyou measure it with a SCALEI'm pretty sure it's called a scale, but I could be wrong.For a "distance" between two points, the ordinary tools are the ruler, tape measure, pedometer, and odometer. For longer distances on Earth, laser rangefinders or satellite measurements would be used. For planetary and stellar distances, astronomical observations can be used to create an estimate, by parallax and by stellar spectroscopy.A scale is used on a map to measure direction.
Odos measure distance travelled, speedos measure speed at that moment.
