How to use this calculator

Calculate surface geodesic distance, bearings, and a midpoint between GPS coordinates using the WGS 84 ellipsoid. Miles and kilometers are both shown; this is not route distance.

Choose the relevant mode and units, enter the needed values, and review the result and its stated limits.

WGS 84 Vincenty geodesic by default; spherical mode is explicitly approximate. Terrain and routes are excluded.
