Formule
a = sin²(Δφ/2) + cos φ₁·cos φ₂·sin²(Δλ/2). c = 2·atan2(√a, √(1−a)). d = R·c, with R = 6371 km.
Questions fréquemment posées
Is this real driving distance?
No — it is the straight-line geodesic (great-circle) distance. Actual road distance is typically 15–30% longer.
Why 60 km/h for travel time?
A simple average that mixes city and intercity driving. Replace it with your own average if you need a tighter estimate.
