On desktop, on website, right click on mouse gives access to Distance & planning tool.
In the mobile app, when you touch the screen you can access to the same tool in top grey banner.

@idefix37 But i am not able to enter coordinates of my choice, how to enter the coordinates directly

@Cecr_dub
First could you say which type of device you are using ?
It will be easier to give detailed info.

In the search bar you can enter coordinates in 3 different formats:

Then you need to place a Favorite at this location by clicking on the small heart next to the search bar.
With the Distance & planning tool, measure the distance from this Favorite to the cyclone eye.

Using coordinates only makes sense if you are at sea. On the land, it is easy to measure the distance from a location to the cyclone eye shown by the wind layer and the Hurricane tracker.

@idefix37 can the distance tool used along with hurricane tracker in map

@Cecr_dub
Yes, on website.
Here is an example with Hurricane Tammy.
I clicked on its predicted position for next Friday by NHC in Hurricane tracker.
Then right click on mouse, I got the distance of this point to Bermuda.

w/customized wind color scale

Position 1 is the the position predicted by NHC while the map is forecast by ECMWF model. The position 2 is the Bermuda position.
