How distances between settlements are calculated. How to calculate the distance between cities and the best route by car online

Do you want to always know how long your driver will be on the road, how much fuel he will spend on the trip and how far he will cover? Use our online petrol calculator! This is a very handy tool for logisticians, dispatchers and drivers who want to get accurate trip data or get the best route.

Using it is elementary: set the start and end point of your trip, fuel consumption, its cost - and you will get detailed description itinerary and travel budget. Calculation of fuel for a distance - simple, fast, relevant!

Fuel quantity

To move the car requires fuel: diesel fuel, gasoline, gas. Your vehicle is on a long trip and you don't know how much fuel you need? Perform the calculation of gasoline for a trip on a calculator - this is elementary. Set a route in it, indicate the average consumption on your car, and the system will give you total the required fuel. Of course, this calculation will be approximate, because traffic jams, downtime, etc. are not taken into account, but still you will have something to focus on. Calculating the right amount of fuel for a trip has never been so easy!

Fuel cost

Do you want to know not only the distance between settlements and the amount of fuel needed for the trip, but also the budget of the trip? There is nothing easier! The system will automatically calculate the cost of gasoline or diesel fuel if you set the current cost in the corresponding window. You don't need to count or multiply anything - just enter the data into our calculator. If the cost of fuel in the regions is different, then set the average value: you will get a fairly accurate amount and you can calculate the trip budget. Use our gas distance calculator - it's completely free!

Distance traveled

In order to accurately determine the distance between destinations and calculate the mileage of the car, you no longer need to climb into directories or take readings from instruments. Just enter the start and end points of the route. The system will give you the best path, calculate the number of kilometers between them and help you calculate gasoline by distance. Remember that the calculator only shows data for a one-way trip. Multiply the data by 2, or set the route in both directions and you will get accurate results!

Travel time

Our calculator allows you to calculate the travel time by car. It displays the actual data - that is, how long the car will cover the required distance without violating the rules of the road. It does not take into account stops for smoke breaks, eating, rest, standing in traffic jams. But practice shows that in most cases the theoretical and nominal time coincides.

The form allows you to calculate distances and plot the optimal route (divided into sections) between cities online. In addition, you can calculate the estimated fuel consumption required to travel from point A to point B, and its cost.

If there is such a need, then as additional conditions you can specify which cities you definitely want to pass through or, conversely, which cities and countries you don’t want to visit.

Online route planning

Fill in the form fields, press the "CALCULATE" button and after that a route map with a list of sections of the route will appear on the screen, which, if desired, can be printed on a separate sheet of paper and taken with you on the road:

How to correctly calculate the route by car between cities

Traveling in your own car brings not only an unforgettable experience, but also provides complete freedom of choice. You can choose one optimal route, which will be both convenient and comfortable, and will allow you to enjoy all the charm of the sights and the surrounding landscape, in those places that are selected independently.

So that the trip is not overshadowed by various unpleasant situations, such as wandering in search of the right road, or a complete misunderstanding of where fate has brought on four wheels, you need not only to correctly calculate the route, but also have a visual idea of ​​it.

Choosing an online route planning tool

Not every motorist has a navigator at his disposal, and if he does, then not all devices can calculate the route by car in full, providing the car driver with only general data about what the path from point A to point B will be.

But there is a much better option, a modern service provides drivers with the opportunity to calculate the route on their own, without spending a lot of time on it. Using the form placed at the beginning of the article, you can calculate the route between cities Russian Federation, CIS countries and Europe online.

What data can be obtained by filling out the form for laying the desired route:

• Complete calculation of the distance between cities.
• When calculating the entire path will be divided into certain sections.
• Additionally, you can calculate the route by car and fuel consumption for movement from point A to point B.
• The calculation of fuel consumption is a very useful function - as a result, you can get an overall estimated cost gasoline to have an idea of ​​how much to expect.
• It is possible to exclude from the route those cities and sections of roads that there is no desire to either pass or visit; and add those cities through which passage is required or desirable.
• By analogy, you can also exclude or add different countries in the same way.

In addition, the entire calculated route between cities can be printed on a printer in order to have a map in front of your eyes and follow it exactly without turning off the path.

Detailed route calculation

First you need to enter the city from which the departure is planned, then the final destination. Between the graphs there is a small fad - “through”, by clicking on it, you can enter those cities and countries that you want to visit. It is worth noting the type of car (truck or car) - the correct calculation of fuel consumption, speed, and hence the time that will be spent on the road depends on this.

In the first column with a gas station icon, it is necessary to indicate the number of liters that the car “eats” for a hundred kilometers, and in the second column - the approximate price per liter of fuel.

It is advisable to note the points - “ferries” and “dirt roads”, if any will be present along the way, since the correct calculation of the length and time of the route also depends on this.

After pressing the "calculate" button, the future traveler will see the exact route that must be overcome to the final destination, its exact distance, the estimated number of liters that will be spent and the total cost of gasoline.

After the map pops up, you can tick off those points that you need to take a detour, if necessary. By clicking on the "bypass marked countries and cities" button, the motorist will receive a completely new route that will bypass those settlements that have been marked. Then the mileage, fuel consumption and cost will change. After selecting the desired option, you can click on the printer icon and print a map with the route.

Features of route calculation

The calculation carried out in this form will allow you to calculate the route of movement according to several criteria. This could be a route:

• Fast- runs with an optimal reduction in the time that will be allotted for the journey.
• Short- is laid along the very minimum distance from point A to point B.
• Economy- the calculation is made with a minimum fuel consumption.

After the system calculates the route, all three types of path will be displayed on the map, if possible, if not, then the path indicated on the map will be the fastest, shortest and most economical. It is worth adding that to calculate in new version calculation is possible only for the CIS countries, Turkey and several European countries. The route laid outside these countries will be carried out according to the old calculations.

Also in each table-map it will be possible to see the distance between cities or settlements, including the designated road crossing points. In addition, by hovering the cursor over the road designation, you can find out the number of the route, its name, and the permissible top speed movement, and the arrows in front of the name of the city will tell you in which direction the path will lie.

Using this form of online route calculation, each motorist will be spared from studying the road atlas, will never get lost on the road, and all passengers and the driver will become participants in an exciting journey.

Now you understand that before you go to, you should calculate the route between cities in advance, taking into account your wishes.

The same applies to those car owners who want to know how to drive a car from Moscow to Minsk, which we have already talked about.

Video: in addition to a well-designed route, the car itself must also be prepared for long trips:

Olga

Once a year we travel from Barnaul to Rudny, Kustanai region. calculated the route for the service. Turns out we're going fast. It differs from the short one by 4 km - the directions are completely different. We used the short one once - I didn’t like to go mainly in Kazakhstan.
The service calculated routes more accurately than the navigator. Very competently showed all sections, including the transit passage through Novosibirsk. We have two navigators - both mess up when calculating the route in the Asian part of the country. I will definitely check the service when traveling to the Tomsk region. And I will use it - both gas consumption and travel time - not a single navigator does this.

Vadim

The calculation is not always correct. So from Nyagan to Yekaterinburg he counts through Unyugan to Sovetsky, but there is no road there (not built). Thus, it underestimates the distance by about 150-180 km.

Irina

I have been using this service for a long time, I travel around Europe for many years, and the route has always helped out. There are all points, even small towns. However, today I suddenly began to answer that there are no roads between, say, Barcelona and Montpellier, and other queries on my route along the coast from Spain through France to Italy did not find anything. And this is in Europe, where there is a road to every village! Please check, otherwise it’s a pity to part with you, you have always been at your best. Thank you in advance.

Kirill

Used this service once so far. I went to Dombai from Moscow. I laid a good route, I did not lead through the forests. Fuel consumption cleared almost accurate.

Alexander

The service is very useful, but in addition to it, when laying and calculating the route, I also recommend that you carefully look at the map.
The main disadvantage of the service is that it builds a “standard” route and does not take into account local and regional roads, and even more so roads under construction.
And you can also drive along them, and if you travel, it will bring a lot of impressions.

Olga

In the summer, a road trip is planned from Nizhny Novgorod to St. Petersburg, via Yaroslavl: already now the program has compiled 3 route options - I’ll leave the page bookmarked, perhaps.

Andrey Anatolievich

And Crimea is covered by this program. Gathered in the summer for a vacation by car, it would be very useful.

Igor V.

What I liked the most was the ability to print, which a regular navigator does not allow you to do. On short distances, this is not so important, but on long trips it will come in handy.

Hope

We have been traveling to Europe only by car for two years in a row. I usually plan a route and calculate my approximate gas mileage. If I had known about this program earlier, it would have been much easier.

Tonya

A very handy and useful tool. Somehow we were going to go on a trip, but we thought we wouldn’t pull on the money. We looked at the distance and calculated the gasoline — as a result, the trip took place!

Igor Nikolaevich

And there is some Feedback with map developers? The point is that you often run into blocked sections of roads that navigators do not know about. But how to report them so that they can be amended?

Alexei

Leonid

There is one problem here, the relevance to this moment. After all, all these services update ordinary people. Yes, with big roads troubles usually do not arise, but with small ones, somewhere there is a repair, somewhere there is an accident. And that's it, sailed, you are sent to a detour. And all your fuel and time savings come to naught.

Artyom Kovalev

Lera

My driving experience is not great, so I use all possible modern means. Used this service when traveling to Moscow. But in the Belgorod region, the map did not match at all. Yes, and the navigator showed that I was going in an open field. Apparently, changes have not yet been made to the programs.

Ekaterina932

When traveling for the first time by car to visit relatives, it was decided to use a regular navigator, a distance of about 700 km, how much nerves were spent on a “killed” road without settlements and lamps, the road eventually took more than 13 hours. On the way back, everyone calculated and knew where the gas station was, where to eat and not worry about a breakdown, calmly without stress and much less time and 50 km savings.

Tatiana

I think this service is simply necessary for those who love to travel! Previously, I used only a navigator and, frankly, I rode around the expanses of our beautiful country! Yes, and the time of the trip was estimated by eye. But I think, for reliability, it is better to use several options for assistance, and road signs should not be ignored! Before Christmas, I was driving from Minsk to St. Petersburg, a snowstorm, the signs were completely covered with snow, and here the online service was VERY useful! There were no problems with the location and speed limit!

Alexander Petrovich

I use programs, but only as an additional source of information. If I have a long trip, I look at the route on the map. In order to have a general idea of ​​​​what you will have to face in advance.

Peter

Sorry, I do not believe in the effectiveness of such resources. For six years I traveled from the city of Orsk to the city of Nadym in my car. Almost three thousand turns out, depending on how to go. So the bridge across the Nadym River has been marked on maps and all Internet services since 2008, and the working span was opened in the past, the commissioning of the bridge is in this. In fact, it is a pontoon crossing that is closed every now and then. You are welcome to the ramp. This service will take into account? And how many primers do we have designated as a road with a “hard surface”? And how much asphalt lies up with rubble? And it makes no sense at all to talk about speed limits, signs wander on the highways once a month, then Men at work, then something else. So when you are going on the road, talk to those who have traveled on it, and still be prepared for surprises. By the way, he traveled for six years and only on his last trip, he succumbed to the persuasion of his friends to make a three hundred km detour in order to bypass the completely dead section of Salym - Uvat. I went through the Khanty, Lord, these are the roads that should be in Russia. Oncoming lanes are separated, three lanes in one direction. The hook is decent, but I'm less tired and the car is intact. So I don't believe.

Dmitriy

I think that the cards have not yet been brought to an ideal state. There are no people who would monitor the state of the roads at the moment, so relying on old data is simply not realistic.

Olga

When we went to Abkhazia for the first time, we had no idea how best to get there, because the path is not close anyway. With the help of such applications, we quickly paved our route, and with maximum accuracy.

Anna

We plan to go south by car. Now it’s not a problem not only to “lay” a route, but also to calculate the required amount of fuel and save on its consumption)

Pasha

Although now phones with a navigator, and such search engines as hum and Yandex offer their routers. But you need to plan a route separately and have a map with checkpoints on hand, just in case, either there is no Internet or the phone will sit down.

Sasha

Well, such a journey does not make sense at all when everything is calculated and everything should turn out by itself. It is much more interesting to drive when you have neither a map nor a navigator. Language will bring to Kyiv, friends. So good luck)

Michael

Such programs are certainly useful, and help determine the distance between settlements. However, exact time arrival is impossible to predict, because it all depends on the specific road conditions

Gennady

Now it is very convenient to figure out the route of your future road trip, you will be calculated up to a kilometer and a liter of gasoline, but this is far from the truth. First of all, I go to the sites of car travelers and read reports with real trips, with numbers, with rubles, the cost of parking, overnight stays! Then you can draw complete picture especially when it comes to traveling abroad. And then I throw my own full story in Internet!

Oleg

Previously, I also used similar sites, pre-calculating the route and approximate fuel consumption on a laptop. But then, I liked the application on my smartphone more, it is always at hand and in front of my eyes during the journey. First enjoyed Navitel program, it allows, firstly, to determine and choose a route that is acceptable to me, and secondly, it warns about the congestion of the route. But after he took me to the wrong place, I switched to Yandex Navigator. I have been using it for several years and it is very convenient - I indicated the point of arrival and immediately you have several routes, travel time, traffic congestion. And you do not need to type anything manually, all commands are voice.

Nicholas

I usually look up the route on the Internet in map services. There is no navigator, I rarely go to unfamiliar places. Whatever one may say, the trip always turns out to be longer than the laid route. Perhaps specialized programs do this more accurately, but for me this is a trifle. The main thing is to get to the right place, and sometimes you choose a route longer, but on a normal road. Not always the shortest path will lead you faster. If I go to unfamiliar city I look through which streets are best to get to. There was a program on a smartphone, but I got used to using it, you get distracted by every sound. So I drive almost the old fashioned way, on a map, electronic 🙂

Sergey

And how to calculate the route on broken roads, where repairs are underway or weather conditions that make it difficult to travel, and there is no detour for normal movement. Also, under such conditions, fuel consumption increases significantly. On a rare occasion, something from force majeure enters the database for quick response and reporting.

Ivanovich

About 15 years ago, in my car, with my family, we first went to the city of Rostov through the city of Rossosh, Voronezh region. We looked at the road atlas, from which we realized that it would be shorter if we went along a route that did not pass along the city bypass road, but through the city along its main street. As a result of this decision, already far beyond the city in the steppe, the asphalt suddenly ended, and we barely, barely by country roads and gullies, drove to the Rostov highway, a little further than the town of Boguchar. It was tedious to go. After that, I try to always plan the route prematurely. A site with the ability to plot a route, calculating its duration in terms of time and distance, as well as the amount of fuel needed, a very necessary tool for drivers.

Basil

I often travel by car. I found out for myself for sure, you can’t rely on just one thing. Yes, now there are already telephones with maps and navigators, but when I plan a route, I still use similar sites, I make a selection in Word useful information on 5-6 sheets (hotel numbers, addresses, some places, etc.), I print it out and take it with me. Helped out multiple times. Electronics can break, but paper is always with me.

Sasha

I travel long distances quite often, I definitely plan a new route with the help of a similar program that I found on the Internet 5-6 years ago - you need to know the approximate fuel consumption, the optimal route.

Lyokha

For the first time I used online trip planning in 2015 - I went with my family to the sea, a distance of 1100 km. Surprisingly, at all key points I was in accordance with the plan, the difference is no more than 10 minutes. Now I have a navigator, but anyway, I usually figure out the route on GIS. And for reliability, I drive an automobile atlas of 1986 release. Believe it or not, but a couple of times there were controversial situations when it was the old Soviet atlas that came to the rescue.

Paul

Particularly pleasing in navigation programs are the maps of city streets. Is the track a track where you can turn off it, onto an unfamiliar country road? and here, passing Big City, you can get lost and wind around a lot of time, then navigation comes to the rescue! Leads carefully, indicating in advance turns, junctions, intersections. So I was able to get out of the nightmarish Volgograd on the way to the Black Sea!

Denis

Oh, I remember the 90s, when the “atlas of highways” of 78 of release served as a navigator. I turned the wrong way, stopped, took out an atlas on the hood and caught local resident to show the way! It was fun time!

Igor

Nowadays, it has become very easy to determine the distance of your route. I used to specially calculate the route when I went to Kirov for hunting and fishing, but then the problem was with gasoline, so I considered how much to take with me. Last years I used the Navitel navigator, then after it led me to the wrong place, I replaced it with the Yandex navigator. Conveniently, simultaneously with several routes, it immediately gives the distance to the object, choose any.

Konstantin

Route planning, especially on long trips, is a necessary thing. Firstly, you get information about the time of the trip, at least approximate, about the distance. Based on this, you know the approximate fuel consumption, which means financial losses. But all this is quite easy to estimate and without using the Internet, a map or atlas is enough. But to come around the cities, here without a navigator, if it is still an unfamiliar city, then it is difficult. Here I always use the navigator on my smartphone, it is very informative and convenient.

Michael

This summer it was necessary to go from Volgograd to Moscow (almost 1000 km). Thanks to such an online service, I calculated everything in advance (fuel consumption, travel time). I didn't expect it, but that's pretty much what happened. Very comfortable, I recommend.

site presents to your attention new tool convenient for both motorists and all other travel enthusiasts. This is a program for calculating the distance between cities. Now you do not have to draw lines by eye in road atlases and measure the resulting ornate line with a curvimeter.

Calculating the route from one locality to another with our online service is as easy as shelling pears - just enter the names of the point of departure and destination in the fields specially designated for this. In a matter of fractions of a second, you will get not only the exact distance between cities in kilometers, but also the travel time in hours. On the map you can see the route. In addition to the points of departure and destination, you can specify intermediate stops - then the route will turn out to be even more detailed. The resulting distance is calculated from the exact coordinates of settlements and roads received from the satellite. Thus, the mileage information is quite accurate. Travel time data is approximate, without taking into account traffic difficulties that may arise on the way of the motorist. After receiving data on the route, the program offers to go to the fuel calculator in order to get accurate calculations of the amount of gasoline needed for the trip.

With our online tool you can quickly calculate distances between cities for passenger car. It will be convenient for any motorist going on a long trip - for example, to the sea on vacation with his family. By calculating the route and the amount of fuel needed for the trip, you can get an idea of ​​\u200b\u200bthe financial costs of the trip.

With the help of our service, truck drivers will be able, after calculating the distance, to plot a route on the map, preparing for the upcoming trip.

This service will also be useful for companies engaged in cargo transportation. By calculating the mileage and multiplying it by the required rate, you can estimate the cost of delivering cargo to its destination. You can place a route calculation tool on your website by obtaining a special code for this.

Get directions by car

This service allows you to quickly get a route between any cities

Russia and Abroad, and immediately see the laid route on the map.

What is a distance calculator for?

You look through which cities the route will pass you can decide in advance on a place to stay for the night.

You will see the approximate fuel consumption for the entire trip and will be able to estimate the financial
expenses. You will know how much time you will spend on the road.

How to get directions by car?

First you need to set the start and end points of the route. In the calculator

Calculation has two fields - "city from where" and "city where". Enter in the appropriate fields

City names.

In the "fuel consumption" field, enter the appropriate characteristic of your car

(in liters per 100 kilometers). In the "fuel price" field - the average price of gasoline,
with which you fill your car.

This data is needed to calculate the total fuel costs for the entire trip.

In the "additional distance calculation settings" tab, you can set more

Several conditions:

- "Detour countries" - do not lay a route through the territory of the specified countries.

This feature is especially useful for international shipments. Allows you not to go

To the territory of countries with a visa regime and avoid customs inspections.

- "City bypass" - do not lay a route through the territory of the specified

Cities. If you don't want to pass through a certain city, enter its name in

This field.

- Detour routes - exclude the specified routes from the calculation.

- "Through cities" - the function allows you to draw a route through a certain

City or cities, even if they lie outside the shortest path.

- "Speed ​​on the road" - there are 4 types of roads - territorial,

Regional, highway, motorway. You can exclude one

Or several types.

You can create a route by car in one of two modes:

The shortest route is the minimum distance from one city to another;

The fastest route - the minimum travel time (only

expressways).

After you have set all the conditions, click the "calculate" button.

On the map that appears, the route will be marked with a thick red line, and all cities lying on the way will be marked with red markers.

The calculation results are presented in the form of a table, which shows the length of the entire path, the time in

Trip, total fuel consumption and the amount that fuel will cost.

The table also contains a list of all cities through which the route is laid, with

Division into regions and countries.

The results can be printed on a printer and taken with you on the road instead of

Atlas. If you have access to the Internet in your car (for example, via

satellite or cellular network), you can check the route and correct it in

Depending on circumstances.

Keep in mind that averages are used in the calculations. That's why

The results obtained are only indicative values ​​and not exact figures.

The distance calculation for autotravel routes is based on Dijkstra's Algorithm. This is an algorithm that calculates the shortest path according to the exact coordinates of settlements and highways between them, received from satellites. It breaks the whole path into segments with the same type roads, measures the sum of the lengths of the road segments of each class. And sums up the average speed on each of the existing road classes.

All calculations are done by computer. The algorithm models its own road based on the received data, but then you yourself understand that such modeling cannot be perfect. Because extraneous factors always intervene - changes in roads as a result of man-made and natural interventions, repair of highways, extraneous circumstances.

Therefore, my advice to you - when laying a route and calculating distances, calculating the required amount of fuel and preparing a travel budget - always lay in additional reserve resources - money, fuel. time and strength

How else can you get a route and calculate the distance

Those who do not like such computer calculations and do not trust such services will probably wonder what can replace the Distance Calculation Service?

What can I advise them - only three options.

1. Buy a road atlas, find out the length of the route from it and calculate the travel time, amount of fuel and the budget of the road trip manually. Here you need to look at the year of issue of the atlas. and think what has changed on the track for Lately. Not an option))))

2. Lay your route on the map manually and measure its length with a thread (each bend) or with a curvimeter. Can be a line. but you know, it's more difficult. time will be spent much more. Also not an option

3. Find on the web or reference literature distances between cities and countries and, based on these data, calculate the cost of fuel and its cost yourself or on a calculator. Travel time cannot be calculated. therefore, as a rule, the class of roads is not given in such collections. I personally don't like this option at all.

4. To go just at random, not knowing where there are gas stations, motels, roadside cafes and, most importantly, gas stations. Well ...... I sing glory to the madness of the brave))))) Especially if such madness is done when a family or a child is in the car.

Therefore, think for yourself, decide for yourself - to use the distance calculation service or not to use it. Ideal Options calculate the whole path simply does not exist!

and I'm just offering you the simplest, most time-consuming and more or less reliable way to make it easier to calculate the path of your auto trip.

Have a good road trip and easy roads!
