Distance Calculator
Domande Frequenti
Tutto quello che devi sapere sul calcolo delle distanze
How is the distance calculated?
The distance is calculated using geocoding and routing services that consider the real road network. The result includes the actual route distance (not as the crow flies) and the estimated travel time based on average traffic conditions for the selected mode.
Are travel time estimates accurate?
Travel times are estimates based on average traffic conditions and typical speeds for the selected mode. Real-time traffic, road works, weather conditions and other factors can affect actual time. For important journeys, we recommend adding a 15-20% buffer.
Which transport modes are supported?
Three modes are supported: Driving (standard road route), Walking (pedestrian paths and pavements) and Bicycling (cycle paths and suitable roads). Each mode calculates the optimal route and the estimated time specific to that means of transport.
Can I calculate international distances?
Yes, the tool supports distance calculations between any address or city in the world. Simply enter the full addresses or city names with the country. For ambiguous addresses, it is advisable to specify the province or country for more precise results.
Is the distance as the crow flies or by road?
The calculation follows the real road network, not a straight line: the kilometres shown are the route you would drive, cycle or walk between the two addresses entered.
Which ways of travelling can be chosen?
Three: car, bike and on foot. Each works out a different route and a different estimated time, so the same pair of addresses gives three different answers.
Can I measure the distance between cities in different countries?
Yes, the calculation takes addresses and cities in any country. With an ambiguous address it helps to add the province or the state, so the point found is the right one.
Where does my upload go?
To a server of ours, and we say so plainly because this is one of the few tools that cannot run inside the browser: the processing needs a real machine. The file is uploaded, processed, and deleted automatically within an hour. Nobody opens it, it does not end up in an archive, and it is never used to train anything.
Do you use it for anything else?
No. The file does the job you asked for and then it is gone: we do not link it to you, we do not resell it, we do not pass it to third parties and we do not train any model on it. Most other Binatomy tools upload nothing at all and work only in your browser; this is one of the few that cannot.
Do you profile me? Are you GDPR compliant?
We do not profile you: there is no account to create, we never ask for your email to use a tool, and we keep no profile of what you do. We are an Italian company and we work under the GDPR and the other European rules, with the privacy notice and the consent request in plain sight. One thing we say in full rather than hiding it behind a slogan: the ads on the page are Google's, and Google may use cookies to personalise them. You decide from the consent banner: if you say no the ads stay, but they are not personalised, and the tool works exactly the same.
If it is free, how do you make money?
From the ads on the page, and that is all. We do not sell your data, there is no hidden paid plan, there is no limit that eventually asks for your card, and you do not have to sign up. The ads pay for the servers and for the time we spend writing the tools: that is how we can keep them open to everyone.
