Route Planner
Distance Map’s route planner calculates real walking and driving distances between locations — not just straight-line distance. Plan multi-stop trips, daily commutes, and outdoor adventures with accurate road distances.
How to Plan a Route
- Open the route planner
- Choose your transport mode — walking, driving, or cycling
- Drop pins at each stop along your route
- See the calculated route drawn on the map with total distance and estimated time
The route follows real roads and paths, so the distance reflects what you’ll actually travel — not the straight line between points.
What You Can Plan
Walking Routes
Perfect for tourists exploring a new city, daily commute planning, or measuring your walking workout. Routes follow pedestrian paths, sidewalks and footbridges where available.
Driving Routes
Plan road trips with multiple stops. Calculate driving distance between cities, optimal routes, and total trip distance. Compare different routes to find the most efficient one.
Cycling Routes
Plan cycling routes that take advantage of bike paths and cycle-friendly roads. Track training distances and plan weekend rides.
Multi-Stop Journeys
Add as many stops as you need. Distance Map calculates the total route distance and individual segment distances between each stop.
Use Cases
- Daily commute planning — find the fastest walking or driving route
- Road trip planning — multi-stop journeys with total mileage
- Tourist routes — plan walking tours of a new city
- Training routes — running, cycling, hiking with accurate distance
- Delivery planning — calculate route distance for multi-stop deliveries
- Real estate — measure walking distance from a property to amenities
Routes vs. Straight-Line Distance
Distance Map supports both:
- Route distance — follows real roads and paths (this page)
- Straight-line distance — direct geodesic distance between points (distance calculator)
Use route distance when you need to know how far you’ll actually travel, and straight-line when you need the shortest distance “as the crow flies”.
