This free as the crow flies distance calculator helps you measure the straight-line (great-circle) distance between two points on Earth using addresses or GPS coordinates.
Developed by glandnav.com â trusted tools for precision GPS mapping and field measurement.
đ What Is "As the Crow Flies" Distance?
The phrase "as the crow flies" means the shortest distance between two points, ignoring roads, terrain, or obstacles â just as a bird would fly straight from A to B.
This calculator uses the Haversine great-circle formula, a globally recognized geodesy method also applied in GPS navigation systems, to ensure accurate straight-line distance results anywhere on Earth.
âď¸ How to Measure Straight-Line Distance on Map
- 1Search or click on the map to select your starting point (A).
- 2Choose your destination (B) by clicking or entering a location or GPS coordinates.
- 3The map will automatically:
- ⢠Draw a straight line between A and B
- ⢠Display the distance in kilometers, miles, or nautical miles
- ⢠Show bearing (direction) and midpoint coordinates
- 4Optionally, copy coordinates or switch distance units.
đĄ You can also enter latitude and longitude directly, such as:
Point A: 51.5074, -0.1278 (London)Point B: 48.8566, 2.3522 (Paris)Key Features

Frequently Asked Questions
Find comprehensive answers to common questions and get the expert guidance you need for optimal results
What does 'as the crow flies' mean?
It means the shortest distance between two points on Earth, measured in a straight line, ignoring roads or obstacles â just as a bird would fly straight from A to B.
How is straight-line distance different from driving distance?
Driving distance follows roads and routes, while 'as the crow flies' shows the direct aerial distance, which is usually shorter.
Can I use GPS coordinates instead of addresses?
Yes. Simply input latitude and longitude values for both points. The calculator will instantly compute the straight-line distance.
How accurate is this calculator?
It uses the Haversine formula, a precise great-circle calculation method used in navigation and geodesy, accurate to within a few meters.
Can I measure distance between multiple points?
This tool currently supports two points for simplicity. For multiple-point measurements or area mapping, use https://glandnav.com/products/field-area-measure.
