Distance Calculator
Easily calculate the driving and flight distance between two cities or addresses.
How Is the Distance Between Two Locations Calculated?
The distance between two locations is calculated using GPS coordinates or address data. Driving distance follows the actual road network, bridges and routes; flight distance uses the Haversine formula to give the shortest straight-line distance between two points. Driving distance is always greater than or equal to the flight distance due to geographical obstacles.
How to Use the Distance Calculator?
Enter your starting point (city, district or address) in the "From" field. Type your destination in the "To" field. Select Driving or Flight mode and click "Calculate". Use the ↕ icon in the middle to swap the two locations. The result is displayed instantly in kilometres.
What Is the Difference Between Flight Distance and Driving Distance?
Flight distance (as the crow flies) is the geometric straight-line distance between two points; it ignores obstacles such as mountains, rivers or buildings. Driving distance always longer as it follows the actual road network, bridges and passes. For example, Istanbul–Ankara is approximately 350 km as the crow flies but around 450 km by road.
