FAQ
What mathematical formula is used to calculate geographic distance?
It uses the Haversine formula to calculate great-circle distances between coordinate points on a spherical Earth model.
Why is driving distance longer than calculated straight-line distance?
Road networks navigate terrain curves and city streets, adding 20% to 40% distance compared to straight-line flight paths.
