Distance Calculator
Distance Map is a free distance calculator that lets you measure the distance between any two or more points on a map. Drop pins, see results instantly, and switch between units with a single tap.
How to Calculate Distance on a Map
- Open the map — Find your starting location using satellite or street view
- Drop pins — Tap to place a pin at each point you want to measure
- See the result — Total distance updates in real time as you add points
You can add as many points as you need. Distance is calculated using high-precision geodesic formulas on the WGS84 ellipsoid, so accuracy stays consistent over short and long distances.
Distance Units Supported
| Unit | Best For |
|---|---|
| Kilometers (km) | Roads, longer distances, metric countries |
| Miles (mi) | Roads in US/UK, long-distance running |
| Meters (m) | Construction, short distances, sports |
| Feet (ft) | US/UK property, building measurements |
| Nautical miles (nmi) | Maritime, aviation |
Switch between units instantly without losing your measurement.
