Calculation of distances between cities and laying a route by car

Any trip by car requires a preliminary measurement of the distance between cities and 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 the distance between settlements, as well as the travel time and fuel consumption. With it, you can calculate the distance between cities in Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Kazakhstan and other CIS countries, as well as Europe.

The calculation of the optimal route is carried out in accordance with road maps and consists in finding the shortest, in time or in distance, path between two points.

Using the appropriate settings, you can create a car route according to your wishes and needs. The service allows you to exclude specific settlements and road sections from the calculation, as well as to list intermediate points through which you must make a route on the map. You can specify the travel speed for each road type to get a more accurate timing.

Why is this service good?

To calculate the distances between cities online, you only need access to the Internet, without installing programs, without being tied to a specific computer, in any place where there is access to the network.

calculates international distances

You can calculate the distance on roads not only within a certain country, but find out the distance between cities different countries if you are planning a trip abroad.

gives an accurate calculation of distances

provides for additional customization of calculations

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 eventually pave optimal route taking into account all the criteria.

Plotting 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 with your own transport, then in the service you can calculate the distance between countries.

Distance and Fuel Consumption Calculation is a useful tool for calculating the cost of a trip, with which you can easily calculate the cost of a route. Indicate the fuel consumption and price in order to calculate the amount of fuel required for the entire route and its cost.

Going on vacation in your car gives you a great opportunity to explore the nearby attractions. Here, again, online calculation of distances and routes will come in handy, you can plot a detailed travel route in advance and plan (in terms of time and financial costs) trips to interesting objects and cities near your destination.

It will also be useful to use the route calculation between cities when sending goods with the help of a transport company. Using the distance calculator, you can determine the mileage to your destination and estimate the cost of delivery in accordance with the carrier's tariffs. If you yourself carry out cargo transportation, the calculation of distances is simply necessary for you.

So, what the distance calculation service offers:

You can build the best route, look at the traffic pattern on the map and, if necessary, print the calculation result. You can find the distance between two points directly or change a direct route by specifying intermediate points that you want to bypass or, conversely, add and create a route with intermediate points.

Find out the distance between settlements

The distance between cities calculator allows you to determine the distance between the starting and ending points, taking into account the laid route.

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 required city from the drop-down list. In the same way, fill in the "City to" 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 do, for example, calculate the distance between villages or settlements, etc.

As a result, you will get the shortest distance between the two settlements that you specified. The route of movement will be displayed on the map and in the table. The table lists the sections of the route (routes) and indicates the distance between cities along the roads on each segment of the route, as well as the time and total length of the path.

Distance and fuel calculation

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 window "Additional settings for calculating distances".

Calculation of road distances with additional parameters

Fill in the required additional settings fields.

Here you can specify the countries and cities that you want to bypass, then they will be excluded from final route... And also list through which settlements you need to pass in order for them to be added to the calculation car route... Leave these fields blank, if you only need to know the distance between two cities, just indicate the points of departure and arrival in the corresponding fields of the form.


Calculation of the distance of the road between cities

In the additional parameters window, you can change the speed for different types of roads in order to get more exact time on my way.


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 required 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, and the last setting, it allows you to calculate the optimal route in terms of time or length. Set the desired value: "Fastest route" to get the road with the shortest travel time or "Shortest route" to calculate shortest route by distance.

Route calculation

After the additional parameters are set, click the "Calculate" button again to calculate the distance and time along the new route.

If you want to remove specific sections of the route from your route, put a tick in front of them in the table with route calculation and click the "Exclude marked" button. Online program calculating the distances between cities will lay a route bypassing the specified routes.


Distance in kilometers between cities

Yandex Maps - the best for the area of ​​the CIS

Yandex Maps Is a cross-platform program. You can use all the functions of the service by launching the site in a browser on your computer or phone.

Also, you can download official version from the store Google applications Play or IOS.

Note! The paths that Yandex creates are perfectly adapted for the territory of the CIS countries. They will always show you where the road works are taking place, all types of possible fences. Also, you can see the places of congestion of cars, their length and an approximate calculation of the time it will take to overcome the traffic jam.

Establishment inYandex

The compilation principle in Yandex.Maps is identical in both browser and mobile versions of the service. Follow the instructions to create your own path diagram:

  • After pressing the button a popup will appear to create... Fill in the text fields in it "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, landmark, park. Yandex will prompt the exact address;

  • Now select type of movement- on foot, on public transport or by car. The choice of the method of transportation 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 choosing the type of movement. The user can check the box "Avoid traffic jams" and get the option to quickly get 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 of 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 or traveling to other cities, we recommend working with mobile version Google Maps service. 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 to view reviews about it. Also, you can see the hours of the minimum and maximum occupancy of places.

To create in a mobile program, click on the button "How to get there?", and then follow the steps for determining 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 an even greater speed of work 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 prices for real estate and get the contact details of companies.

To create in 2GIS follow the instructions:

You can calculate the distance between cities for free using our website. The distance between cities is calculated along the shortest paths. At the same time, the fuel consumption is shown in parallel, depending on the type and make of the car.

The calculation can be useful in such situations:

  • planning a private vacation trip for the whole family by car, or determining the optimal route for a business trip on a business trip. The calculator will help you calculate fuel costs on the way (we know the average fuel consumption and its price);
  • professional drivers long distance help to lay a route between cities;
  • the calculator's options are useful for consignors when determining the cost of transportation services (the mileage is determined by the calculator, tariffs are given by the carrier);

How do I use the distance calculator?

It will not be difficult to set and lay a route between cities. To do this, you need to enter the starting point along the route in the "From" field. A convenient way to select cities has been created. Similarly, the field of arrival along the specified route is filled in. After the selection of cities, the button for calculation is pressed.

A map will open with a marked route and an indication of the starting and ending points of movement, cities. They are marked with red markers. The route by car between cities is drawn with a red line. As reference information the following data is shown on top of the map:

  • estimated route length;
  • travel time;
  • how much fuel will be required for the trip.
  • what type of roads along the route;
  • the route is divided into separate sections with an indication of the length and travel time.

This route data can be printed and received in a convenient A4 format. If necessary, you can make adjustments to the calculation. Set the parameters you need for the trip and re-request to make a calculation.

Additional settings make it possible to make adjustments to the calculation of the speed for each type of road surface. There is an option for choosing transit settlements.

A fuel calculator is very helpful. Substitute into it the parameters of the car (average fuel consumption) and the current average prices for 1 liter of fuel. This will allow you to find out the required amount of fuel and its cost.

Alternative routing methods

If you have a road atlas at hand, then you can use it to approximately determine the route on the map. A curvimeter, if available, will help determine a fairly approximate distance between cities.

Finding out the time spent on the trip will be more difficult. You will need to distribute the entire route into fragments with the same type of roads. Knowing the speed at which you can drive on each class of roads and knowing the length of such sections, you can calculate the travel time.

Data from reference books, atlases on the distances between cities can also come to the rescue. Please note that these tables usually indicate large cities.

Algorithms for calculating distances between cities

Route calculations are based on an algorithm for finding a path according to the shortest principle. Distances between cities by car are determined based on the satellite binding the coordinates of settlements and roads. As a result of reading all the data on the computer, the result is issued as a simulation option. Do not be lazy when planning a long trip to take care of the backup options of your capabilities.

In practice, there are two main methods for calculating the distance between settlements:

  • exclusively on the available roads, taking into account the approaches;
  • in a straight line (like a bird flies - straight and free). The distance is shorter, but in practice it has no practical value - there are no roads along this route.

Our program uses to calculate the distance between cities along motorways and roads.

Measure the corresponding line with a ruler. Preferably, it is made of as thin sheet material as possible. In case the surface on which it is spread is not flat, a tailor's meter will help. And in the absence of a thin ruler, and if it is not a pity to pierce the card, it is convenient to use a compass for measuring, preferably with two needles. Then you can transfer it to graph paper and measure the length of the segment along it.

Roads between two points are seldom straight. A convenient device - a curvimeter - will help to measure the length of the line. To use it, first, by rotating the roller, align the arrow with zero. If the curvimeter is electronic, it is not necessary to manually set it to zero - just press the reset button. Holding the roller, press it to the starting point of the cut so that the risk on the body (it is located above the roller) points directly to this point. Then move the roller along the line until the line is aligned with the end point. Read the readings. Note that some curvimeters have two scales, one of which is graduated in centimeters and the other in inches.

Look for a scale indicator on the map - usually located in the lower right corner. Sometimes this pointer is a piece of calibrated length, next to which it is indicated what distance it corresponds to. Measure the length of this line with a ruler. If it turns out, for example, that it has a length of 4 centimeters, and next to it it is indicated that it corresponds to 200 meters, divide the second number by the first, and you will find out that each on the map corresponds to 50 meters on the ground. On some, instead of a segment, there is a ready-made phrase, which may look, for example, as follows: "There are 150 meters in one centimeter." Also, the scale can be specified as a ratio of the following form: 1: 100000. In this case, we can calculate that a centimeter on the map corresponds to 1000 meters on the ground, since 100000/100 (centimeters in meter) = 1000 m.

The distance measured with a ruler or curvimeter, expressed in centimeters, multiply by the number indicated on the map or calculated number of meters or in one centimeter. The result is the real distance expressed, respectively, or kilometers.

Any map is a reduced image of some territory. The factor that shows how much the image is reduced in relation to the real object is called scale. Knowing it, you can determine distance on . For real-life maps on paper, the scale is a fixed value. For virtual, electronic maps, this value changes along with the change in the magnification of the map image on the monitor screen.

Instructions

If yours is based, then find it, which is called a legend. Most often, it is located in the frame design. The legend must indicate the scale of the map, which will tell you, measured in distance according to this will be in reality, on. So, if the scale is 1: 15000, then this means that 1 cm at map is equal to 150 meters on the ground. If the scale of the map is 1: 200000, then 1 cm plotted on it is equal to 2 km in reality

That distance that interests you. Please note that if you want to determine how quickly you will reach or get from one house to another in or from one settlement to another, then your route will consist of straight sections. You will not move in a straight line, but along a route that runs along streets and roads.

Instructions

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 there are two buttons: "Routes" and "My places". Click on "Routes". Two windows "A" and "B" will appear under it, 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, write "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 are from one city to another, as well as how much time it takes to get there by car. walking tour, 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 proceed according to the above scheme. The only difference is that you need to add the street and, possibly, the 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 situations when you are interested in distance between objects "directly": through fields, forests and rivers. In this case, click on the cogwheel icon in the upper corner of the page. In the expanded menu that appears, select "Google Maps Lab" and turn on the tool for measuring distance, save the changes. A ruler appeared in the lower left corner of the map, click on it. Mark at the reference point and then the end point. A red line will appear on the map between these points, and the distance will be shown on the left side panel.

Useful 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 enter the service using your profile, Google Maps will remember your settings in the Google Maps Lab.

  • measure distance on map

Going on a summer tourist trip on foot, by car or kayak, it is advisable to know in advance the distance that will need to be covered. To measure the length paths, you can't do without a map. But from 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

  • Area map, compass, strip of paper, curvimeter

Instructions

The first technique: using a compass. Install a compass solution suitable for measuring length, otherwise referred to as its step. The pitch will depend on how tortuous it is to be measured. Usually, the step of the compass should not exceed one centimeter.

Place one leg of the compass at the starting point of the measured path length, the other needle in the direction of travel. Rotate the compasses sequentially around each of the needles (it will resemble the steps along the route). The length of the estimated 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. The remainder, less than the step 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 the edge and align with the route line. Where the line bends, bend the strip of paper accordingly. After that, it remains to measure the length of the resulting segment of the path along the strip, of course, again taking into account the scale of the map. This method is only suitable for measuring the length of small sections of the path.
