How do I use Google Maps app to calculate Chicago to LA driving distance when I'm in NYC?

I am in NYC. (so is my phone)

How do I use Google Maps app to calculate the driving time and distance
from Chicago to Los Angeles? *ONLY* Chicago to Los Angeles....
not NYC-Chicago-LA

I can do this very easily using my Macbook Pro by firing up Google Maps
in Chrome browser.(or any browser)

However, I just can't figure out how to do this using the Google Maps app
on my Samsung Galaxy Note 3. Sure, I can use use a browser to do this,
but I want to do it inside the Google Maps app for Android. I must be
stupid or something because there's no way that Google was stupid
enough to leave this out this feature, right?


Thanks!

Click on "My location"
Choose Chicago, IL
Click on the lower location
Choose/type in Los Angeles, CA
