How is the distance calculated?

Driving distances are based on actual road data. We use advanced routing algorithms that consider traffic, tolls, highways, and local streets. For air distances (as the crow flies), we use the Vincenty formula. It's a precise method that accounts for the Earth's shape and provides accuracy up to 0.5 mm.

When multiple route options exist, we display both the shortest and fastest paths. Travel times are estimated based on typical speeds for each road type, though actual times may vary with traffic and weather conditions. All distances are shown in both miles and kilometers for convenience.
