I tried to keep the handling of DistCalc.com as simple as possible. In case of usability problems I want to help you solving them. Thus, I have collected some kind of faqs for you.

Starting point

DistCalc understands your WGS84 coordinates (latitude,longitude degree; e.g. 32.620433, -110.797511) as well as addresses (e.g. 1786 W American Ave, Oracle, AZ 85623). Thus, you can either enter an address or the coordinates of your starting point. Alternatively drag the »home«-marker on the desired point in the map or click the green »Current location« button right besides the form to fill in your starting point. Just try the different possibilities!

Destination

For telling DistCalc where you want to go, just use one of the possibilities I showd you for selecting your starting point. There is only one limitation: You are not able to use the green »Current location« button to fill in your destination.

Current location

In Germany »privacy« is a major topic in internet technology. Thus, I want to tell you what's going to happen to your personal data like your current location after submitting it to DistCalc. First of all, none of the data you enter on DistCalc will be written to any database or storage on my server. This includes first and foremost your current location (for me, it doesn't matter where you are right now. But I hope you enjoy being where you are. Anyway...). Your location will be transferred to the algorithm which calculates the distance between your starting point and your destination. No information will be saved at any time of processing.

Get distance!

Once you clicked the »Get distance!« button DistCalc starts working. In the blink of an eye you can see a green area on the page containing the distance between your starting point and your destination. Hooray!
