What Distance Between Coordinates does

Calculate great-circle distance, bearing, and midpoint between coordinates.

How to use Distance Between Coordinates

  1. Enter start and end coordinates.
  2. Calculate the great-circle result.
  3. Review distance units, bearing, and midpoint.

Method and calculation

Distance uses the Haversine formula on a spherical Earth model. Initial bearing and spherical midpoint are calculated from the same coordinate pair.

Limitations

This is not road, driving, or travel distance. A spherical model is an estimate and can differ from ellipsoidal surveying calculations.

Frequently asked questions

Is this driving distance?

No. It is straight-line geographic distance.

What happens for identical points?

Distance is zero and bearing is not meaningful.
