Calculation of distances between houses. Navigator online: we build according to personal wishes - the best services
The form allows you to calculate distances and plot the optimal route (divided into sections) between cities online. In addition, you can calculate the estimated fuel consumption required to travel from point A to point B, and its cost.
If there is such a need, then as additional conditions you can specify which cities you definitely want to pass through or, conversely, which cities and countries you don’t want to visit.
Online route planning
Fill in the form fields, press the "CALCULATE" button and after that a route map with a list of sections of the route will appear on the screen, which, if desired, can be printed on a separate sheet of paper and taken with you on the road:
How to correctly calculate the route by car between cities
Traveling in your own car brings not only an unforgettable experience, but also provides complete freedom of choice. You can choose one optimal route, which will be both convenient and comfortable, and will allow you to enjoy all the charm of the sights and the surrounding landscape, in those places that are selected independently.
So that the trip is not overshadowed by various unpleasant situations, such as wandering in search of the right road, or a complete misunderstanding of where fate has brought on four wheels, you need not only to correctly calculate the route, but also have a visual idea of it.
Choosing an online route planning tool
Not every motorist has a navigator at his disposal, and if he does, then not all devices can calculate the route by car in full, providing the car driver with only general data about what the path from point A to point B will be.
But there is a much better option, a modern service provides drivers with the opportunity to calculate the route on their own, without spending a lot of time on it. Using the form placed at the beginning of the article, you can calculate the route between the cities of the Russian Federation, CIS countries and Europe online.
What data can be obtained by filling out the form for laying the desired route:
- Complete calculation of the distance between cities.
- When calculating the entire path will be divided into certain sections.
- Additionally, you can calculate the route by car and fuel consumption for movement from point A to point B.
- The fuel consumption calculation is a very useful feature - as a result, you can get the total estimated cost of gasoline in order to have an idea of \u200b\u200bhow much to expect.
- It is possible to exclude from the route those cities and sections of roads that there is no desire to either pass or visit; and add those cities through which passage is required or desirable.
- By analogy, you can also exclude or add different countries in the same way.
In addition, the entire calculated route between cities can be printed on a printer in order to have a map in front of your eyes and follow it exactly without turning off the path.
Detailed route calculation
First you need to enter the city from which the departure is planned, then the final destination. Between the graphs there is a small fad - “through”, by clicking on it, you can enter those cities and countries that you want to visit. It is worth noting the type of car (truck or car) - the correct calculation of fuel consumption, speed, and hence the time that will be spent on the road depends on this.
In the first column with a gas station icon, it is necessary to indicate the number of liters that the car “eats” for a hundred kilometers, and in the second column - the approximate price per liter of fuel.
It is advisable to note the points - “ferries” and “dirt roads”, if any will be present along the way, since the correct calculation of the length and time of the route also depends on this.
After pressing the "calculate" button, the future traveler will see the exact route that must be overcome to the final destination, its exact distance, the estimated number of liters that will be spent and the total cost of gasoline.
After the map pops up, you can tick off those points that you need to take a detour, if necessary. By clicking on the "bypass marked countries and cities" button, the motorist will receive a completely new route that will bypass those settlements that have been marked. Then the mileage, fuel consumption and cost will change. After selecting the desired option, you can click on the printer icon and print a map with the route.
Features of route calculation
The calculation carried out in this form will allow you to calculate the route of movement according to several criteria. This could be a route:
- Fast- runs with an optimal reduction in the time that will be allotted for the journey.
- Short- is laid along the very minimum distance from point A to point B.
- Economy- the calculation is made with a minimum fuel consumption.
After the system calculates the route, all three types of path will be displayed on the map, if possible, if not, then the path indicated on the map will be the fastest, shortest and most economical. It is worth adding that it is possible to calculate in the new version of the calculation only for the CIS countries, Turkey and several European countries. The route laid outside these countries will be carried out according to the old calculations.
Also in each table-map it will be possible to see the distance between cities or settlements, including the designated road crossing points. In addition, by hovering over the road designation, you can find out the number of the route, its name, and the permissible maximum speed, and the arrows in front of the city name will tell you which way the path will run.
Using this form of online route calculation, each motorist will be spared from studying the road atlas, will never get lost on the road, and all passengers and the driver will become participants in an exciting journey.
Now you understand that before you go to, you should calculate the route between cities in advance, taking into account your wishes.
The same applies to those car owners who want to know how to drive a car from Moscow to Minsk, which we have already talked about.
Video: in addition to a well-designed route, the car itself must also be prepared for long trips:

Once a year we travel from Barnaul to Rudny, Kustanai region. calculated the route for the service. Turns out we're going fast. It differs from the short one by 4 km - the directions are completely different. We used the short one once - I didn’t like to go mainly in Kazakhstan.
The service calculated routes more accurately than the navigator. Very competently showed all sections, including the transit passage through Novosibirsk. We have two navigators - both mess up when calculating the route in the Asian part of the country. I will definitely check the service when traveling to the Tomsk region. And I will use it - both gas consumption and travel time - not a single navigator does this.
Vadim
The calculation is not always correct. So from Nyagan to Yekaterinburg he counts through Unyugan to Sovetsky, but there is no road there (not built). Thus, it underestimates the distance by about 150-180 km.
Irina
I have been using this service for a long time, I travel around Europe for many years, and the route has always helped out. There are all points, even small towns. However, today I suddenly began to answer that there are no roads between, say, Barcelona and Montpellier, and other queries on my route along the coast from Spain through France to Italy did not find anything. And this is in Europe, where there is a road to every village! Please check, otherwise it’s a pity to part with you, you have always been at your best. Thank you in advance.
Kirill
Used this service once so far. I went to Dombai from Moscow. I laid a good route, I did not lead through the forests. Fuel consumption cleared almost accurate.
Alexander
The service is very useful, but in addition to it, when laying and calculating the route, I also recommend that you carefully look at the map.
The main disadvantage of the service is that it builds a “standard” route and does not take into account local and regional roads, and even more so roads under construction.
And you can also drive along them, and if you travel, it will bring a lot of impressions.
Olga
In the summer, a road trip is planned from Nizhny Novgorod to St. Petersburg, via Yaroslavl: already now the program has compiled 3 route options - I’ll leave the page bookmarked, perhaps.
Andrey Anatolievich
And Crimea is covered by this program. Gathered in the summer for a vacation by car, it would be very useful.
Igor V.
What I liked the most was the ability to print, which a regular navigator does not allow you to do. On short distances, this is not so important, but on long trips it will come in handy.
Hope
We have been traveling to Europe only by car for two years in a row. I usually plan a route and calculate my approximate gas mileage. If I had known about this program earlier, it would have been much easier.
Tonya
A very handy and useful tool. Somehow we were going to go on a trip, but we thought we wouldn’t pull on the money. We looked at the distance and calculated the gasoline — as a result, the trip took place!
Igor Nikolaevich
Is there any feedback from map developers? The point is that you often run into blocked sections of roads that navigators do not know about. But how to report them so that they can be amended?
Alexei
Leonid
There is one problem, the relevance at the moment. After all, all these services are updated by ordinary people. Yes, troubles usually do not arise with large roads, but with small ones, somewhere there is a repair, somewhere there is an accident. And that's it, sailed, you are sent to a detour. And all your fuel and time savings come to naught.
Artyom Kovalev
Lera
My driving experience is not great, so I use all possible modern means. Used this service when traveling to Moscow. But in the Belgorod region, the map did not match at all. Yes, and the navigator showed that I was going in an open field. Apparently, changes have not yet been made to the programs.
Ekaterina932
When traveling for the first time by car to visit relatives, it was decided to use a regular navigator, a distance of about 700 km, how much nerves were spent on a “killed” road without settlements and lamps, the road eventually took more than 13 hours. On the way back, everyone calculated and knew where the gas station was, where to eat and not worry about a breakdown, calmly without stress and much less time and 50 km savings.
Tatiana
I think this service is simply necessary for those who love to travel! Previously, I used only a navigator and, frankly, I rode around the expanses of our beautiful country! Yes, and the time of the trip was estimated by eye. But I think, for reliability, it is better to use several options for assistance, and road signs should not be ignored! Before Christmas, I was driving from Minsk to St. Petersburg, a snowstorm, the signs were completely covered with snow, and here the online service was VERY useful! There were no problems with the location and speed limit!
Alexander Petrovich
I use programs, but only as an additional source of information. If I have a long trip, I look at the route on the map. In order to have a general idea of what you will have to face in advance.
Peter
Sorry, I do not believe in the effectiveness of such resources. For six years I traveled from the city of Orsk to the city of Nadym in my car. Almost three thousand turns out, depending on how to go. So the bridge across the Nadym River has been marked on maps and all Internet services since 2008, and the working span was opened in the past, the commissioning of the bridge is in this. In fact, it is a pontoon crossing that is closed every now and then. You are welcome to the ramp. This service will take into account? And how many primers do we have designated as a road with a “hard surface”? And how much asphalt lies up with rubble? And it makes no sense at all to talk about speed limits, signs wander once a month on the highways, then roadworks, then something else. So when you are going on the road, talk to those who have traveled on it, and still be prepared for surprises. By the way, he traveled for six years and only on his last trip, he succumbed to the persuasion of his friends to make a three hundred km detour in order to bypass the completely dead section of Salym - Uvat. I went through the Khanty, Lord, these are the roads that should be in Russia. Oncoming lanes are separated, three lanes in one direction. The hook is decent, but I'm less tired and the car is intact. So I don't believe.
Dmitriy
I think that the cards have not yet been brought to an ideal state. There are no people who would monitor the state of the roads at the moment, so relying on old data is simply not realistic.
Olga
When we went to Abkhazia for the first time, we had no idea how best to get there, because the path is not close anyway. With the help of such applications, we quickly paved our route, and with maximum accuracy.
Anna
We plan to go south by car. Now it’s not a problem not only to “lay” a route, but also to calculate the required amount of fuel and save on its consumption)
Pasha
Although now phones with a navigator, and such search engines as hum and Yandex offer their routers. But you need to plan a route separately and have a map with checkpoints on hand, just in case, either there is no Internet or the phone will sit down.
Sasha
Well, such a journey does not make sense at all when everything is calculated and everything should turn out by itself. It is much more interesting to drive when you have neither a map nor a navigator. Language will bring to Kyiv, friends. So good luck)
Michael
Such programs are certainly useful, and help determine the distance between settlements. However, it is impossible to predict the exact time of arrival, because it all depends on the specific road conditions.
Gennady
Now it is very convenient to figure out the route of your future road trip, you will be calculated up to a kilometer and a liter of gasoline, but this is far from the truth. First of all, I go to the sites of car travelers and read reports with real trips, with numbers, with rubles, the cost of parking, overnight stays! That's when you can paint a complete picture, especially when it comes to trips abroad. And then I throw my own full story on the Internet!
Oleg
Previously, I also used similar sites, pre-calculating the route and approximate fuel consumption on a laptop. But then, I liked the application on my smartphone more, it is always at hand and in front of my eyes during the journey. At first I used the Navitel program, it allows, firstly, to determine and select a route that is acceptable to me, and secondly, it warns about the congestion of the route. But after he took me to the wrong place, I switched to Yandex Navigator. I have been using it for several years and it is very convenient - I indicated the point of arrival and immediately you have several routes, travel time, traffic congestion. And you do not need to type anything manually, all commands are voice.
Nicholas
I usually look up the route on the Internet in map services. There is no navigator, I rarely go to unfamiliar places. Whatever one may say, the trip always turns out to be longer than the laid route. Perhaps specialized programs do this more accurately, but for me this is a trifle. The main thing is to get to the right place, and sometimes you choose a route longer, but on a normal road. Not always the shortest path will lead you faster. If I'm going to an unfamiliar city, I look through which streets are best to get to. There was a program on a smartphone, but I got used to using it, you get distracted by every sound. So I drive almost the old fashioned way, on a map, electronic 🙂
Sergey
And how to calculate the route on broken roads, where repairs are underway or weather conditions that make it difficult to travel, and there is no detour for normal movement. Also, under such conditions, fuel consumption increases significantly. On a rare occasion, something from force majeure enters the database for quick response and reporting.
Ivanovich
About 15 years ago, in my car, with my family, we first went to the city of Rostov through the city of Rossosh, Voronezh region. We looked at the road atlas, from which we realized that it would be shorter if we went along a route that did not pass along the city bypass road, but through the city along its main street. As a result of this decision, already far beyond the city in the steppe, the asphalt suddenly ended, and we barely, barely by country roads and gullies, drove to the Rostov highway, a little further than the town of Boguchar. It was tedious to go. After that, I try to always plan the route prematurely. A site with the ability to plot a route, calculating its duration in terms of time and distance, as well as the amount of fuel needed, a very necessary tool for drivers.
Basil
I often travel by car. I found out for myself for sure, you can’t rely on just one thing. Yes, now there are already telephones with maps and navigators, but when I plan a route, I still use similar sites, I make a selection of useful information in Word on 5-6 sheets (hotel numbers, addresses, some places, etc.). I print it out and take it with me. Helped out multiple times. Electronics can break, but paper is always with me.
Sasha
I travel long distances quite often, I definitely plan a new route with the help of a similar program that I found on the Internet 5-6 years ago - you need to know the approximate fuel consumption, the optimal route.
Lyokha
For the first time I used online trip planning in 2015 - I went with my family to the sea, a distance of 1100 km. Surprisingly, at all key points I was in accordance with the plan, the difference is no more than 10 minutes. Now I have a navigator, but anyway, I usually figure out the route on GIS. And for reliability, I drive an automobile atlas of 1986 release. Believe it or not, but a couple of times there were controversial situations when it was the old Soviet atlas that came to the rescue.
Paul
Particularly pleasing in navigation programs are the maps of city streets. Is the track a track where you can turn off it, onto an unfamiliar country road? but when driving through a large city, you can get lost and wind around for a long time, and then navigation comes to the rescue! Leads carefully, indicating in advance turns, junctions, intersections. So I was able to get out of the nightmarish Volgograd on the way to the Black Sea!
Denis
Oh, I remember the 90s, when the “atlas of highways” of 78 of release served as a navigator. I turned the wrong way, stopped, took out an atlas on the hood and caught a local resident to show the way! It was fun time!
Igor
Nowadays, it has become very easy to determine the distance of your route. I used to specially calculate the route when I went to Kirov for hunting and fishing, but then the problem was with gasoline, so I considered how much to take with me. In recent years, I used the Navitel navigator, then after it led me to the wrong place, I replaced it with Yandex-navigator. Conveniently, simultaneously with several routes, it immediately gives the distance to the object, choose any.
Konstantin
Route planning, especially on long trips, is a necessary thing. Firstly, you get information about the time of the trip, at least approximate, about the distance. Based on this, you know the approximate fuel consumption, which means financial losses. But all this is quite easy to estimate and without using the Internet, a map or atlas is enough. But to come around the cities, here without a navigator, if it is still an unfamiliar city, then it is difficult. Here I always use the navigator on my smartphone, it is very informative and convenient.
Michael
This summer it was necessary to go from Volgograd to Moscow (almost 1000 km). Thanks to such an online service, I calculated everything in advance (fuel consumption, travel time). I didn't expect it, but that's pretty much what happened. Very comfortable, I recommend.
On this page you can calculate the distance and route between two points (any city or town). The calculation is made using Yandex Maps. After entering the points, a route will appear on the map, laid along the roads.
What is the purpose of this service?
First of all, such calculations are necessary for a car enthusiast to pre-plan a road trip or a business trip by car. By inserting fuel consumption and the price per liter into the calculation table, you can estimate the potential costs when leaving.
A professional driver by occupation may also need a quick calculation of laying the optimal route along the highway when collecting for a future flight.
Features of building a route
This calculation function "Distance and route between two points" may be required to quickly and efficiently build a trip route taking into account possible traffic jams, or calculate the shortest distance between selected points.
On the way, it is convenient to take the route in printed form.
For a pre-paved path, click on the link "Print version" in order to get a print-friendly version. This map will schematically show the general route, where, if desired, for each intermediate settlement, it will be possible to add an optimal detour scheme before printing.
For the selected route, you can calculate the approximate fuel consumption for your type of car by entering the price per liter and the theoretical consumption of l./100 km.
The form below allows you to make an online calculation of distances between settlements in Russia, CIS countries and Europe, get a route by car and get a calculation of fuel consumption.

Calculation of distances between cities and laying a route by car
Any trip by car requires you to first measure the distance between cities and plot a car route on the map. To do this quickly, simply and conveniently allows a special online service "Calculation of distances between cities".
The distance calculation service is designed to determine the route and distance between settlements, as well as the duration of the journey and fuel consumption. With it, you can calculate the distance between the cities of Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Kazakhstan and other CIS countries, as well as Europe.
The calculation of the optimal route is performed in accordance with road maps and consists in finding the shortest, in terms of time or distance, path between two points.
Using the appropriate settings, you can build a car route according to your wishes and needs. The service allows you to exclude specific settlements and sections of the road from the calculation, as well as list intermediate points through which it is necessary to lay a route on the map. You can specify the driving speed for each type of road to get a more accurate timing.
What is good about this service?
To calculate distances between cities online, you only need access to the Internet, without installing programs, without being tied to a specific computer, anywhere where there is access to the network.
calculates international distances
You can calculate the distance on roads not only within a certain country, but also find out the distance between cities in different countries if you are planning a trip abroad.
gives accurate calculation of distances
provides additional calculation settings
You can set additional parameters for the calculation (bypassing countries, cities and highways, including certain settlements in the route, indicating the speed on different roads), and as a result, create the best route taking into account all the criteria.
Laying routes and calculating distances by road will help when planning a trip on vacation or on a business trip. If you are going on a trip abroad using your own transport, then in the service you can calculate the distance between countries.
Distance and Fuel Calculation is a useful travel cost calculation tool, with which you can easily calculate the route cost. Specify fuel consumption and price to calculate the amount of fuel needed for the entire route and its cost.
Going on vacation in your car, you get an excellent opportunity to drive around the nearby attractions. Here, again, online calculation of distances and routes is useful, you can lay out a detailed travel route in advance and plan (in terms of time and financial costs) trips to interesting objects and cities near your vacation spot.
Using the calculation of the route between cities will also be useful when sending cargo using a transport company. With the help of the distance calculator, you can determine the mileage to your destination and estimate the cost of delivery in accordance with the tariffs of the carrier. If you yourself carry out cargo transportation, the calculation of distances is simply necessary for you.
So, what does the distance calculation service offer:
You can build an optimal route, look at the map on the map and, if necessary, print the result of the calculations. You can find the distance between two points directly, or change the direct route by specifying waypoints to bypass or, conversely, add and create a route with waypoints.
Find out the distance between settlements
The distance calculator between cities allows you to determine the distance between the starting point and the end point, taking into account the laid route.
Calculate vehicle fuel consumption
Get directions with timing
How to calculate the route between cities
To calculate the distance between settlements, start typing the name of the starting point of your route in the "City from" field. Select the desired city from the drop-down list. In the same way, fill in the "City where" field and click on the "Calculate" button.
The word "city" is used only as the name of the form fields, here you can specify any settlement and, for example, calculate the distance between villages or towns, etc.
As a result, you will get the shortest distance between the two settlements that you specified. The route will be displayed on the map and in the table. The table lists the sections of the route (tracks) and indicates the distance between cities along the roads on each segment of the laid route, as well as the time and total length of the path.
Laying a route on the map
Calculation of distance and fuel
As mentioned above, the service allows you not only to determine the distance between two points directly, but also to plot a route with intermediate points and exceptions specified by you. To calculate the route of movement by car according to your parameters, open the "Advanced settings for calculating distances" window.
Calculation of car distances with additional parameters
Fill in the fields of additional settings you need.
Here you can specify the countries and cities that you want to bypass, then they will be excluded from the final route. And also list through which settlements you need to pass so that they are added to the calculation of the road route. Leave these fields blank if you only need to know the distance between two cities, just enter your departure and arrival points in the appropriate form fields.
Calculation of road distance between cities
In the advanced options window, you can change the driving speed for different types of roads to get a more accurate travel time.
How to calculate the fuel consumption of a car? Fill in the form fields with your data, indicate in them the average fuel consumption of your car and the price of fuel. The service will calculate the volume and cost of fuel needed for this route and display in the table the calculation of the consumption of gasoline or diesel fuel in liters and rubles.
Online fuel consumption calculation
Well, the last setting, it allows you to calculate the optimal route by time or length. Set the value you need: "Fastest route" to get a road with the minimum travel time or "Shortest route" to calculate the shortest route by distance.
Route calculation
After the additional parameters are set, click the "Calculate" button again to calculate the distance and time for the new route.
If you want to remove specific sections of the route from your route, check the box next to them in the route calculation table and click the "Exclude marked" button. The online program for calculating distances between cities will create a route around the specified routes.
Distance in kilometers between cities
The online service "Calculation of distance between cities" offers the calculation of distances between cities along the roads of the Russian Federation, Europe and the CIS. It allows you to calculate the distance and fuel consumption in seconds, plot the shortest route and, if necessary, print the result.
Paving a route in the online navigator will allow you to find out the way to the desired object, no matter where in the world you are.
Thanks to the use of electronic maps, users can not only find out the shortest route, but also calculate the exact time of arrival at their destination, as well as see all the places of road works and temporary fences.
You can compose your own path using or . To use online maps, you need a stable and fast internet connection.

Yandex Maps - the best for the CIS area
Yandex Maps is a cross-platform program. You can use all the functions of the service by launching the site in a browser on a computer or phone.
Also, you can download the official version from the Google Play or IOS app store.
Note! The paths that Yandex creates are perfectly adapted to the terrain of the CIS countries. They will always show where road works are being carried out, all types of possible fences. Also, you can see the places of accumulation of cars, their length and an approximate calculation of the time it will take to overcome the traffic jam.
Creation inYandex
The principle of drafting "Yandex.Maps" identical in both the browser and mobile versions of the service. Follow the instructions to create your own path scheme:
- After pressing the button a pop-up window will appear to create. Fill in the text fields "Address or point on the map". The first line is the start, the second line is the destination. Start typing the name of the street or the name of a shopping center, attraction, park. Yandex will tell you the exact address;
- Now select movement type– on foot, by public transport or by car. The choice of transportation method allows the service to determine the fastest and most optimal route and the exact time it will take to overcome the path.
The path will be created automatically immediately after selecting the type of movement. The user can check the box "Around the traffic jams" and get the option of fast travel to your destination.
Also, the service window will indicate the time it takes to overcome the path.
Note that you can add a few more points, creating a thoughtful plan for your movement.
Yandex mobile application
Usage mobile application from Yandex to determine the route will allow you to quickly find the desired path without being distracted from the road.
If you often use maps while driving a car or traveling to other cities, we recommend using the mobile version of Google Maps. It is available for all mobile operating systems.
With the help of the program, you can not only create accurate routes, but also search the map for nearby Wi-Fi hotspots, eateries, hotels, gas stations and attractions. For each institution there is a function for viewing reviews about it. Also, you can see the hours of minimum and maximum occupancy of places.
To create in the mobile program, click on the button "How to get there?", and then follow the steps to determine the points in the same way as described for the desktop version of the site.
Making a path with maps 2GIS
2GIS- These are online maps that are more focused on the terrain of Ukraine and Belarus. The developers of the service did it by analogy with the options discussed above, however, this service shows even greater speed and very accurately determines all the places.
In addition to the usual functions, the service allows you to find promotional offers from shopping centers, supermarkets, beauty salons.
Also, users can view information about developers in their city, find out current real estate prices and get contact details of firms.
To create in 2GIS follow instructions:
Instruction
Go to the Google search engine and click on the word "Maps", which is located at the top of the search engine. On the right side you will see a map, and on the left two buttons: "Routes" and "My Places". Click on Routes. Under it, two windows “A” and “B” will appear, that is, the starting and ending points of reference. Let's say you are in Ufa, and you need to find out how long the road to Perm will take. In this case, enter "Ufa" in the "A" box, and "Perm" in the "B" box. Press the button again under the "Routes" windows. The route will appear on the map, and under the "A" and "B" windows, how many kilometers from one city to another, as well as how much time it takes to get there by car. If you are interested in walking walk, click on the button with the image of a pedestrian, which is located above the windows "A" and "B". The service will rebuild the route and automatically calculate distance and expected travel time.
In the event that it is necessary distance from point “A” to “B”, located in the same locality, you should act according to the above scheme. The only difference is that you need to add a street and, possibly, a house number, separated by commas, to the name of the area. (For example, “A”: Moscow, Tverskaya 5 and “B”: Moscow, Tsvetnoy Boulevard, 3).
There are times when you are interested distance between objects "directly": through fields, forests and rivers. In this case, click on the gear ring icon in the top corner of the page. In the expanded menu that appears, select "Google Maps Lab" and turn on the distance measurement tool, save the changes. A ruler has appeared in the lower left corner of the map, click on it. Designate at the starting point and then the end point. Between these points, a red line will appear on the map, and the distance will be shown on the panel on the left side.
Helpful advice
You can choose one of two units of measurement: kilometers or miles;
- by clicking on several points on the map, you can determine the distance between many points;
- if you sign in using your profile, Google Maps will remember your settings in the Google Maps Lab.

- measure the distance on the map
Going on a summer tourist trip on foot, by car or kayak, it is advisable to know in advance the distance that you need to overcome. To measure length way, you can not do without a map. But on the map it is easy to determine the direct distance between two objects. But what about, for example, measuring the length of a winding water route?
You will need
- Map of the area, compasses, strip of paper, curvimeter
Instruction
Reception the first: use of a compass. Install a compass solution suitable for measuring length, otherwise referred to as its pitch. The step will depend on how tortuous is to be measured. Usually the step of the compass should not exceed one centimeter.
On one leg of the compass, place at the starting point of the measured path length, the second needle - in the direction of movement. Sequentially turn the compass around each of the needles (it will resemble steps along the route). The length of the proposed path will be equal to the number of such "steps", multiplied by the steps of the compass, taking into account the scale of the map. A remainder smaller than the pitch of the compass can be measured linearly, that is, in a straight line.
The second method involves the presence of a regular strip of paper. Place a strip of paper on edge and align with the route line. Where the line bends, bend the strip of paper accordingly. After that, it remains to measure length the resulting segment of the path along the strip, of course, again taking into account the scale of the map. This method is suitable only for measuring the length of small sections of the path.
