Use Great Circle Mapper to calculate the distance and flight duration between all airports worldwide and draw the flight route on a map.
This uses the ‘haversine’ formula to calculate the great-circle distance between two points – that is, the shortest distance over the earth’s surface – giving an ‘as-the-crow-flies’ distance between the points (ignoring any hills they fly over, of course!).
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.
15 sie 2020 · Great Circle Mapper – also known as GCMap or GCM – is a tool I regularly use. It provides a wealth of information on airports and the distances between two or more destinations. It is a particularly useful tool for flyer programs of airlines whose pricing is linked to the distance travelled.
14 mar 2022 · This article should equip you with a basic understanding of how to use Great Circle Mapper to calculate flight distances, compare routings, and plot out distance ranges from a given city. Happy trip planning, and may your flight distances forever squeak in under the thresholds!
