How to use the Distance Calculator
Calculate the distance between two points on a plane, in 3D, or between map coordinates.
- 1 Choose 2D points, 3D points or map coordinates.
- 2 Enter the coordinates of both points.
- 3 Read the distance and the extra results, such as the midpoint or bearing.
Example and practical tips
London (51.5074, −0.1278) to New York (40.7128, −74.006) is about 5,570 km or 3,461 miles as the crow flies.
Frequently asked questions
Which formula is used for maps?
The haversine formula on a spherical Earth, accurate to about 0.5%.
Why is my road trip longer?
Roads wind around terrain, so driving distances are always longer than the straight great-circle distance.
