The Great Circle Mapper. Draw you flight path on a map and calculate the great circle distance in nautical miles and kilometers. Get estimated flight time by choosing an aircraft type or entering the cruising speed.Click in the large textfield above to enter all the airports of your flight route!
18 sty 2024 · In our great circle calculator, we went for the WGS 84: a widespread model used even by GPS satellites. Here are the numbers: a = 6378137.8 m. a = 6 378 137.8\ \mathrm {m} a = 6378137.8 m; b ≈ 6356752.314140 m. b \approx 6 356 752.314140\ \mathrm {m} b ≈ 6356752.314140 m; and. f = 298.257223563.
Destination point given distance and bearing from start point. Given a start point, initial bearing, and distance, this will calculate the destination point and final bearing travelling along a (shortest distance) great circle arc.
Great Circle Map displays the shortest route between airports and calculates the distance. It draws geodesic flight paths on top of Google maps, so you can create your own route map.
Calculate the great circle distance between two points. Calculate the great circle distance between two addresses. Draw a direct route between two airports, or multiple airport pairs. Draw range rings (concentric circles) around a point. Calculate coordinates at a given bearing and distance.
