Location-to-Location Distance Calculator

This free distance calculator lets you calculate the shortest path, straight line distance between any two locations on Earth. The distance as the crow flies.

How It Works:


Our distance calculator is a user-friendly tool that allows you to quickly determine the distance between any two locations on Earth in a straight line. Here’s how to use it:

  1. Enter the starting location in the “From” field.
  2. Enter the destination in the “To” field.
  3. As you type, the tool will suggest locations. Select the correct one from the dropdown.
  4. Click the “Calculate Distance” button.
  5. The tool will display the distance in kilometers, miles, and feet, and show the route on a map.

Our distance calculator uses the geodesic distance (also known as ‘as the crow flies’) between two points, which represents the shortest path between two points on the Earth’s surface. Please note that actual travel distances by road or other means may be longer due to terrain and infrastructure.
