A geodesic line is the shortest possible distance between two points. For example, with a global map view, a geodesic line with two points, one in Whitehorse, Canada and one in Oslo, Norway would be drawn as a straight line crossing the Arctic circle as opposed to being drawn parallel to a line of latitude.
The Digitize Geodesic Line command can be used when you create a line or area.
