Geo Distance
Great-circle and ellipsoidal distance between two WGS-84 points.
About this tool
Compare surface and straight-line distance between two WGS-84 points. Enter coordinates as Lat/Lon, UTM, or MGRS — all are converted to geographic coordinates internally.
- Haversine — spherical great-circle estimate with
R = 6371.0088 km. - WGS-84 geodesic — ellipsoidal inverse solution calculated by GeographicLib; it remains defined for antipodal points.
- ECEF cylindrical — geocentric cylindrical coordinates
(ρ, φ, z). Its distance is the same Euclidean chord shown in Cartesian coordinates, expressed in another coordinate system. - Cartesian — ECEF
(x, y, z)and direct chord distance through the Earth, not a surface route.
Bearings are undefined when both points are the same.
