Enter a starting place and a destination in the United States to see the driving mileage and the time the trip takes.
Start typing a city, an address or a place name, and pick one of the suggestions. Add the state if the name is common, such as Springfield, IL.
It finds the places you type, works out the best driving route between them on the road network, and reports the length of the route in miles and the time it takes by car. Traffic is not considered, so the time is the time you could expect on a clear road at normal speeds. It works for places in the United States.
The distance is the distance along the roads, which is longer than a straight line between the two places. For planning a trip, add time for stops, fuel, meals and rest, and for traffic and weather. A common rule is to add about 15 minutes for every two hours of driving. The link under the result opens the same trip in Google Maps, where you can see the route and traffic.
Place names can match more than one town, so add the state, as in Springfield, IL or Paris, TX, or type a full address or a ZIP code. The result shows the place that was found, so you can check that it is the one you meant. If a place cannot be found, try a different spelling or a nearby larger town.
The calculator uses open map data from OpenStreetMap contributors, with the Photon and Nominatim services to suggest and find places and the OSRM service to find the route. Distances normally agree with commercial map apps to within about one percent, and driving times to within a few minutes per hour. Because the places you type are sent to these services to find the route, avoid entering anything private.
Type the two cities, with their states, in the boxes and press the button. The result shows the miles by road and the driving time.
No. It disregards traffic, construction and weather, and it does not include stops. Use a live map for current conditions.
Roads rarely run in a straight line. They follow terrain, rivers and towns, so the driving distance is usually 10 to 30 percent longer than the straight-line distance.
This calculator searches only for places in the United States.
Use the mileage from this calculator with the Fuel Cost Calculator, which multiplies the distance by your fuel economy and the price of fuel.
