How is the distance between two locations calculated?
There are several ways to measure the distance between two places. The shortest option is the direct distance, which follows a straight line between two points on the Earth. This is sometimes called straight-line or air distance.
Direct distance is useful for comparing locations, but it does not usually represent the route you would actually travel. Roads, rivers, borders, mountains, and other geographical features can make the practical journey much longer.
Driving distance follows available roads, motorways, junctions, bridges, and permitted routes. Walking and cycling distances may use pavements, footpaths, cycle lanes, trails, and other suitable connections that are not always available to motor vehicles.
A distance calculator is useful for planning holidays, business journeys, sporting activities, house moves, deliveries, and daily travel. It can also help you compare transport options before deciding how to make a journey.
Direct distance vs route distance
Direct distance measures the shortest possible line between two locations. Route distance calculates the journey along available roads, paths, or cycle routes.
For nearby places, the difference may be small. For journeys around coastlines, mountains, rivers, restricted areas, or limited road networks, the driving or walking distance can be much longer than the direct measurement.
