Distance Calculators: Driving Distance and Routes

Distances

Find how far apart two places are. The distance between cities calculator shows the driving distance and the route on a map for any two cities, towns or addresses.

Driving distances follow the road network, so they are longer than the straight-line distance between two points.

Frequently asked questions

Can I use addresses instead of cities?

Yes, you can enter a city, an address or the name of a place.

Why is the driving distance longer than the straight line?

Roads go around terrain, water and built-up areas, so the route is always longer than the great-circle distance.
