A method for operating a laser distance measuring device, in particular a hand-held laser distance measuring device, includes determining a first distance from a first target point with a laser distance measuring unit of the laser distance measuring device by emitting a laser beam in a first distance measuring direction. The method further includes subsequently determining at least one second distance from a second intended target point. An image at least of the target environment of the second target point, captured by a camera of the laser distance measuring device, is displayed on a display of the laser distance measuring device. At least one part of a connection line is represented overlapping with the image, and the connection line connects the first target point and the second target point in the displayed image. A laser distance measuring device implements the method in one embodiment.
