Tiffany, "As the crow flies" is an idiom that refers to the shortest, most direct path between two points, without considering any obstacles or the actual route one might take on the ground. It is often used to describe the straight-line distance between two locations. For example, if two cities are 100 miles apart "as the crow flies," it means they are 100 miles apart in a straight line, regardless of any roads, rivers, or mountains that might be in the way.

How do I do multiple destinations from one origin

By eric on 12th September 2023

Hi Nasi, it's center to center. The centre is the calculated centroid of the ZIP area.

I wonder How the zip code to zip code distance is calculated ? Is it border to border and if so on which road as there may be more than one option OR is it center to center and if so how and where these theoretical centres are specified ?

Why does as the Crow Flies always work, but Land Transport doesn't. I drive almost this same route everyday - there is a regular fwy, along with hwys to do it.

Would be nice to import a list of zip to compare to a single zip to create mailing lists.

I think it%u2019s a great idea!

Also agree that having access to enter multiple zip codes would be great. It would be even better if you could upload a list of zip codes via an excel file and have it calculate distance. Then add option to download completed file.

This works great when it works, but half of the time it doesn't work.

By Gautam on 4th April 2023

Tool would be more helpful if we could look up numerous zip to zip miles at once.
