Uses the haversine formula on a sphere with radius 6,371 km; road distance will be longer.

Frequently asked questions

What formula does this use?

The haversine formula, which treats the Earth as a sphere with a 6,371 km radius. It is accurate to about 0.5% compared with ellipsoid methods.

Why is the driving distance longer?

This is the shortest path over the Earth's surface (as the crow flies); roads follow terrain and networks.
