Map Ruler

The map-ruler icon represents a tool for measuring distances on a map. It is commonly used in geographic information systems (GIS) and mapping applications. The icon typically features a ruler or straightedge with a map in the background.

In software applications, the map-ruler icon is often used in tools such as Google Maps, ArcGIS, or QGIS, where users need to measure distances between locations. It can also be found in design and architecture software, like Sketch or Autodesk, where users need to create precise layouts.

From a UX perspective, the map-ruler icon communicates the ability to measure and calculate distances on a map. It helps users understand that they can use the tool to determine the length between two points, making it easier to plan routes or layouts.

Map Ruler is one of 2,138 icons in TDesign Icons, made by TDesign and released under MIT. It is drawn on a 24 × 24 grid with a 2 stroke.

Sign in (it's free), then open Get icon, Install with shadcn CLI, and pick your package manager to copy the command. It adds MapRulerIcon to components/icons/tdesign-map-ruler.tsx: one file, a size prop (24 by default) and every SVG prop, with no icon package.

Copy it as React (from Get icon, or the Code section): a typed MapRulerIcon component you paste into your project, with no package to install. Only the icons you import reach your bundle. It works in Next.js and any React app.

Open Get icon, then Copy as code, and pick Vue, Svelte, Angular, Solid or Preact; the Code section shows each one too. Every version is one self-contained component with the SVG inside, and SVG and data URL copies are there for plain HTML and CSS.

With Pro, the shadcn.io MCP server lets Claude Code, Cursor or any MCP client find the Map Ruler icon, or any of 2,138 TDesign Icons icons, and install it from a prompt.

It's drawn in currentColor, so it takes the text color wherever you use it: a class like text-primary recolors it. To bake a color in, set one in Customize before you copy.

Set width and height on the component, or a class like size-6. It's drawn on a 24 × 24 grid, so it stays sharp at any size. Customize also sets the size it exports at, its padding and rotation, and its stroke.

Map Ruler is a line icon drawn with a stroke width of 2. Change it in Customize before you copy, or pass strokeWidth to the installed component when all of its strokes share one width.

Yes. It follows the text color, so with text-foreground (or any theme token) it changes with your light and dark themes. The icon is a vector, so it needs no separate dark asset.

Next to a visible label it's decoration: add aria-hidden="true" so screen readers skip it. Standing alone, as in an icon button, give the button a name instead, like aria-label="Map Ruler", so screen readers say what it does.

Yes. MapRulerIcon passes every SVG prop to the svg element, so <MapRulerIcon aria-hidden="true" /> works, and so do role="img" with aria-label, or a title child, when it carries meaning on its own.

Yes. Open Get icon, then Download file: SVG for code or design tools like Figma; PNG, WebP or JPEG at 512px; or an ICO favicon with 16, 32 and 48px inside. Each one uses what you set in Customize.

Yes. MIT allows commercial use; keep the license notice when you ship the icons' source files. The full terms are in the license, linked on this page.

No visible credit is required: MIT only asks that you keep the license notice if you ship the icons' source files. Icons installed with the shadcn CLI already start with a comment naming TDesign Icons, TDesign and the license.

Yes. Copying and downloading it is free, and the shadcn CLI install only needs a free account.

Its tags are UI, interface, design, navigation, element and location. Each tag page lists the icons that carry it from every library, which is the quickest way to find a match for Map Ruler in another set.

TDesign Icons draws many icons in several styles: Filled next to the default. Open the library and pick a style above the grid to see Map Ruler's siblings in it.
