How far was your trip?

Add every stop of your road trip, rail trip or round-the-world trip. Mapae measures each leg on the real roads — or as the plane flies — adds it all up, and turns the same trip into a map film in one tap.

    Type the first two places — a city, a town, an airport or a landmark.

    Far-apart places are set to Fly; change any leg to Drive, Train, Boat, Bike or Walk.

    Questions

    How is the distance calculated?

    Driving, cycling and walking legs are measured along the real roads and paths from OpenStreetMap. Flights follow the great-circle arc — the shortest way over the globe. Train and boat legs are shown as the straight-line distance, marked with ≈.

    Does it show driving time?

    Not yet — distances only. Flight time is estimated at about 830 km/h plus half an hour per flight.

    Can I use miles?

    Yes — switch to miles; your choice is remembered.

    How do I make a video of my trip?

    Tap "Watch this trip as a map film": Mapae opens with your stops already in and makes an animated map video for Reels, TikTok and Shorts.

    Is it free?

    Yes. The calculator is free, and your first 2 map films are free too — no sign-up.
