your thing is awsome and i love it lol hahahahahahahaha
By ashley on 28/01/2010Help me out here! If this 'tool' calculates mileage from point A to point B 'as the bird flies', not by way of highway mileage, isn't this just ANOTHER online plaything?! I'm sure pilots BETTER information available for their use. AHA! I've got it! Google created this so we can debate w/air carriers, if we think they're screwing us on our 'air miles' awards!
By mm on 15/12/2009Is there a way to find a millage radius from one point?
On 09/10/2009Great tool! It would be nice to have a greater number of characters in the "Save This Route" field. For example: COUNTRY / PROVINCE or STATE / CITY / (AIR,LAND,WATER or COMBO) ROUTE / ROUTE ORIGININATION / ROUTE DESTINATION. This would make it easier to research other peoples routes. This in turn would allow for starting with their "saved route"; modifying a new route so the original and the modified route would both be saved under separate names.
By Jon on 31/08/2009map bases distance on a straight line not driving distance. example: this map:dodge city ks to tulsa ok-250 miles mapquest{same cities}Total Estimated Distance: 326.08 miles
On 14/07/2009Great tool. Could a print option (where is sizes to map area) be included?
By Alision on 03/07/2009Great tool. keep up the good work.
By mateo on 22/06/2009Need to convert to feet !! Thanks
On 18/06/2009Is there anyway of using this to calculate elevation climbed and descended?
By Dan on 12/06/2009Seems, that even the airport codes are not in :( At least, the search for TLV does not work
By Voldemar on 04/06/2009Great site! Would be fantastic to have partials distances in a path. For example clicking on a baloon and see the partial distance. Otherwise to be able to delete internal ballon in a path.
By pdovera on 11/05/2009Awesome this is just what i was looking for
By Joey on 01/05/2009I would love to see this program be able to type in a distance traveled from a location and see where you have ended up - maybe the endpoint would be fan-like and you could click and drag it to the route you'd like to be on.
On 30/04/2009This is exactly the program that I was seeking for the calculation of areas and distances. Thank you and my congratulations. cortellazzi Apr/28/09
By A Augusto M Cortellazzi on 28/04/2009It's great. I just used it to find the block size - if Google's block outlines are accurate, the number I got should be also. Thanks :)
By James on 15/04/2009is it possible to plot a milage radius and if so how. this is an excellent site btw.
By jd on 02/03/2009is there anyway of pasting the map into a word document, whenever i do this the map becomes un clear?
By kim on 23/02/2009our tour
By tour by car on 12/02/2009Exceptional! But I miss something, can you make it show multiple routes at once? It would be great!
By jonaseg on 13/12/2008lat and lng info would be awesome, lets hope such feature is developed and soon. thanks agian
By akabuddy on 11/12/2008amazing site. great to have this resource
On 25/11/2008After you have created a route, there should be a tool, which shows automatically km or mile poles. Your own markers could vanish same time.
By Arska on 04/10/2008how can i print the map?
By gretchen8 on 28/09/2008I have been able to save multiple routes without problem until this morning when my newest route wouldn't save. It had 65 markers. Is there a limit to how many markers are allowed to be saved as one route?
By Lou on 27/09/2008It would be awesome to allow the markers to be stored as waypoints on a GPS. Then we could plan and execute a trip using this tool. As an alternative, could we get a printable list of the markers with lat/long info?
On 25/09/2008Rich, I have tried making a route the using the Clear Last button to strip back until there is only one marker remaining. I then build another route. Everything seems OK at my end at this then saves. Can you give me the steps required to reproduce the problem? Thanks
By Daft Logic on 15/09/2008Rich, I will look in to this and let you know what I find.
By Daft Logic on 13/09/2008I'm having problems saving routes. I can't seem to save multiple routes. When I finishe my first route, then I saved it, deleting all the markers from that route, then beginning a new route using the last marker on the previous route as my first marker on the new route. When I tried to save the new route it would not save. Does the number of markers have a bearing on the save function? I tend to have a lot as I want to try and get as accurate mile count as I can. Daft or anyone out there I need help. Thanks.
By Rich on 12/09/2008Sandromo, try switching the markers off by clicking the Toggle Markers button and let me know if things improve. Thanks.
By Daft Logic on 06/09/2008Draft Logic, I use Safari browser 3.1.2 (although the same happens with Firefox 3) and this is the complete error message I get: "A script on the page "Advanced Google Maps Distance Calculator" (http://www.daftlogic.com/projects-advanced-google-maps-distance-calculator.htm#loginbox) is making Safari unresponsive. Do you want to continue running the script, or stop it?" I guess this error occurs because I use quite a lot markers, probably more than the app allows...
