Our distance calculator uses the Haversine formula to calculate the great-circle distance between two points on the Earth's surface. This formula accounts for the Earth's spherical shape, providing accurate distance calculations.

You can calculate distances in kilometers (km), meters (m), miles (mi), and nautical miles (nmi). The result can be easily converted between these units after calculation.

The calculator provides high accuracy for most practical purposes. The Haversine formula accounts for the Earth's curvature, resulting in accuracy within 0.5% of the actual distance. For extremely precise measurements over long distances, more complex formulas might be required.

Yes, our distance calculator works for any two points on Earth. Simply enter the latitude and longitude coordinates for both locations, and the calculator will compute the distance between them.

You can find coordinates using online maps like Google Maps. Right-click on a location and select "What's here?" to see the coordinates. Latitude ranges from -90° to 90°, and longitude ranges from -180° to 180°.
