Suggestion: 
- put the Measure Distance widget back in the widget box for easy on-off 
switching + indication of the distance;
- when activated (on), show the current Measure Distance screen with its 
options eg snap to road;
- allow to return to the main screen, showing the points and dotted line of 
the measured distance, and allowing to add points by clicking on the map;
- when deactivated (off), show the current Measure Distance screen with its 
options, eg for saving the points as route or track.
- re-activating the Measure Distance continues with the current points and 
lines.

My current use case: while hiking, I follow my progression by adding points 
with the Measure Distance tool - this allows doing orientation like I would 
do on a paper map (without turning the GPS on for saving battery) by 
marking my successive positions on the map
