Frequently Asked Questions

Is this the actual travel distance?
No, this is the great-circle (shortest) distance over the Earth surface. Actual travel distance depends on terrain, roads, and routes.
How accurate is the Haversine formula?
For most purposes, it is accurate within 0.3%. For higher accuracy over short distances, Vincenty formula is preferred.
