Measure tool or plot course from here in Android?

Please forgive me if this has been covered elsewhere. I need to find plot a course from here in the Android app. I need help now and I'm underway.

Currently in the Georgetown South Carolina Harbor and preparing to make way for Charlotte. It's a long way to Texas.

If anyone has the short answer, I sure would appreciate it. Thanks in advance.

From the menu at the top right side, the "three dots".

Tap that and the third choice down the list should be create a new route. Tap that.

Then tap the screen to place waypoints.

Then when done tap and hold anywhere and a menu come up to 'end route'.

Waypoints can be dragged around to adjust the route.

It's a bit fuzzy to get it right on a touch screen. Much easier with a mouse. (my opinion)
