Free Map Tools — Measure Distances & Plan Routes

About Map Tools

This tool uses Amazon Location Service for accurate geocoding, place search, route calculation, and nearby place discovery. All measurements use real road networks for driving/walking estimates, and great-circle (Haversine) distance for straight-line and flight estimates.

Three Modes

• 📏 Distance Calculator — Pin two places and get driving/walking/flight times with fun facts
• 🍽️ Nearby Explorer — Search a location, then explore restaurants, coffee, shopping, hotels, attractions, parks, fuel stations, pharmacies, hospitals, banks, and parking nearby
• 📍 What's Here? — Click anywhere on the map to reverse-geocode and get the full address and coordinates

Powered By

• Amazon Location Service — Places (Suggest, GetPlace, SearchNearby, ReverseGeocode), Routes (CalculateRoutes), and Maps (Dynamic tiles via MapLibre)
• MapLibre GL JS — Open-source map rendering with pan, zoom, markers, popups, and route visualization
