What is the distance calculator?

Maps can be difficult to use while planning your trip, with the advances in the internet we wanted to build a free tool that allows you to enter a street name or travel destination and get an exact estimate regarding your journey.

Our World map will then plot your route along the road to your chosen destination, this means you can see your directions online. A street map can be seen if you zoom in close enough, this helps you plot your next vacation or important business meeting.

It allows you to calculate the distance between town, between cities or even from two street names across the world. There are occasions when the calculator will not be able to predict your journey, this could be if there is no valid route between the points or our service cannot determine the distance based on the given start and end points.
