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.
How are flight times estimated?
Flight time estimates assume an average commercial aircraft speed of 900 km/h (560 mph). Actual flight times may vary due to aircraft type, weather, air traffic, and routing.
Can I use this for navigation?
