We present a new kinematic analysis technique called distance mapping. It uses the observed proper motion vectors and the 3-D velocity field to determine the distance for each vector. From this information we generate maps that can be use as a constraint to morpho-kinematic modeling with SHAPE. It is applied to BD +30°3639, using the internal proper motion measurements by Li et al. (2002). We determine its distance at 1.40 kpc ± 0.15 kpc.
