Frequently Asked Questions
How accurate is this distance calculator?
Our calculator uses the Haversine formula, which provides highly accurate straight-line distances between two points on Earth's surface. The accuracy is typically within a few meters for most calculations.
What's the difference between straight-line and travel distance?
Straight-line distance (as-the-crow-flies) is the shortest distance between two points. Actual travel distance by car, train, or ship will be longer due to roads, terrain, and infrastructure.
