Straight-Line Distance Calculation. Straight-line distance otherwise known as the crow flies is the simplest way of measuring distance between two destinations. However, this distance can be calculated using different formulas based on a variety of assumptions.
In order to measure the straight-line distance between two places, you need to put your ruler on the map, placing it to run from one place to the other places. You will use the number of centimeters to work out the straight-line distance in kilometers.
Figure 3.2: Part of the map of Kapiri On most maps, a scale is usually represented as a straight line divided into several numbered units. This is called a linear scale or bar scale. It helps you to find how far one place is from another. It also helps you to measure distance along roads, railways and other linear features on the map.
Map Distance Calculator is a tool calculate the map distance bewteen any two locations. The distance will be shown on a map with the a stright line distance and the driving distance.
Straight lines. A quick way to measure distance is to count each square you cross on the map. On your OS map each grid square measures one kilometre from side to side and from top to bottom. If you go diagonally across a square, the distance will be a bit longer – about 1.5 km.
straight_line_distance = sqrt ( ( x2 - x1 )**2 + ( y2 - y1 )**2 ); The variables x and y refer to co-ordinates in a two-dimensional plane and can reflect any unit of measurement, such as feet or miles.
