NoteAll distances are estimations so Daft Logic does not accept any responsibility that may arise when the value reported is incorrect. You can move the markers after they have been positioned so you can modify you route on the fly and see how the distance will be affected. Options
How it WorksClearly you, the user inputs two 'points' that are used to calculate the distance. Calculating the "As the Crow Flies" distance is a matter of using Great Circle formula. Then the main problem is converting the Google Map unit to miles and kilometers. The map will also automatically save your route in your temporary internet cookies so that you can return and see the route as you last left it. If you ever need to start from scratch then use the [Clear Map] button. Benchmark Tests
