Oct 7, 2020 at 15:14 comment added svenema Thanks, yes sorry, I wasn't aware georeferencing is thing :-). Now following instructions from humperderp's link.
Oct 7, 2020 at 15:12 comment added MarcM That is correct. I was not aware that the map is not georeferenced.
Oct 7, 2020 at 15:07 comment added humperderp Unless I'm misunderstanding something you will need to georeference your map to be able to measure distances in QGIS: qgistutorials.com/en/docs/3/georeferencing_basics.html
Oct 7, 2020 at 15:07 comment added svenema @MarcM, Nice one. It certainly seems that it will do the trick, provided that it can be tamed into reflecting the correct scale.

Oct 7, 2020 at 14:59 comment added MarcM Would the measure tool in QGIS suffice? "Ctrl + shfit + m". This allows you to manually measure your map in your map units.

Oct 7, 2020 at 14:50 comment added svenema I have a "flat" map, containing roads and points of interest. Roads are not straight, so I'm looking for a way to measure distances in pixels, which I can convert back to miles. I'll try to rephrase the question to make that more clear.
Oct 7, 2020 at 14:43 comment added MarcM Your question is not clear to me; do you want to manually measure distances on a map or do you want to want to connect points with polylines and get their distances?
