What is a Distance Calculator?

Measure Straight-Line Distance - Distance Calculator Tool

A distance calculator measures the straight line distance between various points on a map. This is different from driving distance or travel time. Calculate the distance between physical addresses, major cities, or any other point you select on the map.

Maptive’s distance calculator gives you the choice of either measuring the distance between two addresses or the continuous distance between multiple points.

How to Measure Distance Between Locations

Maptive’s Distance calculator is easy to use. Calculate the distance between multiple points in just a few moments by following the steps below:

Individual Distance Calculator Tool

Use the individual distance calculator to determine the distance between two addresses.

Click the ruler icon on the right side of the screen.
Select “Single Point Distance Measurement (A to B).”
Use your cursor to click on the first point, then click on the second point.
A dotted line will appear between the two points and the distance between them will be displayed on the map.
You can delete the dotted line and the distance display by clicking on the “X” at the end of the distance line.

Continuous Distance Calculator Tool

Use the continuous distance tool to determine the distance between more than two addresses.

Click the ruler icon on the right side of the screen.
Select “Multiple Point Distance Measurement (A to B to C to D).”
Use your cursor to click on the first location, then continue to click on the other locations in the order you’d like them to be measured.
A dotted line will appear between all the points as you click on them. Every time you click on a different point it will display the distance from that point to the first point you clicked on.
Stop measuring by clicking the ruler icon on the right side of the screen.
You can delete the dotted line and the distance displays by clicking on the “X” at the end of the distance line.
