Frequently Asked Questions
How accurate is this distance calculator?
Distances are calculated using the precise coordinates of your chosen locations, so straight-line results are accurate to within a few meters. Driving, Walking, and Cycling distances reflect real route data with actual travel time can still vary with traffic, terrain, or the specific path taken.
What’s the difference between the Driving, Walking, and Cycling options?
Each one calculates distance along routes suited to that mode of travel, so results can differ from each other — a driving route follows roads, while walking and cycling routes may take more direct paths where available.
Can I search by landmark, or only by city?
Either works. You can enter a country, state, city, or a well-known landmark in the “From” or “To” field — it’s not limited to city names.
What units does the calculator show?
Every result appears in kilometers, miles, and nautical miles at the same time, so there’s no need to convert manually.
Why do you include nautical miles alongside kilometers and miles?
Nautical miles are the standard unit for aviation and maritime distances, so we include them for anyone planning a flight or shipping route — alongside the more everyday km/mi figures.
Is this tool really free to use?
Yes — no sign-up, no account, and no limit on how many times you can use it.
Does it work on mobile?
Yes, the calculator is fully responsive and works the same way on phones, tablets, and desktop.
