How accurate is the map distance calculator?

The calculator uses Google Maps' geodesic distance computation, which accounts for the curvature of the Earth. For typical distances, accuracy is within 0.1-0.5%. Accuracy depends on how precisely you place the points along the path.

Can I measure curved or winding paths?

Yes. Place multiple points along curves and bends to trace the path accurately. The more points you add along curves, the more precise the total distance will be.

What units are supported?

Distance can be displayed in meters (m), feet (ft), kilometers (km), and miles (mi). You can switch units at any time and all measurements update instantly.

Can I adjust points after measuring?

Yes. After finishing the measurement, you can drag any point to adjust its position. The total distance and segment lengths recalculate in real time.
