Just found out how far my Dad walked to visit relatives on Christmas Day 1942 - 12 miles. Whoever set up this site a big thank you. Will definitely use it again.

A great little web site. I have to take my car in for service, where it will be all day. Can't stay, & nothing to do in the are, so this told me how far I have to walk home (& back to get the car). Not as far as I thought. Have bookmarked the page.

When I click on show the (correct) postcode for the first address changes to lower case and no distances are given. I can get an answer on the driving site, but it%u2019s a very roundabout route.

Would be even better if we could input house number as well if wanted for an even more accurate walking distance

Hi David, for cost and performance reasons, we have no plans to implement a batch feature such as this.
By Free Map Tools on 27th February 2018

This is a great tool! What would make it even more special is the ability to perform batch processing of, say, 200 pairs of postcodes! Do you intend on adding this feature and if so, when do you expect it to be available? Thanks!

B Glover, can you confirm the start and end postcodes that were used please?
By Free Map Tools on 12th June 2017

The site would only show distance 'as the crow flies' and not walking distance. As I'm not a crow, it wasn't very helpful.
By B Glover on 12th June 2017

When inputting the journey Wd3 1LJ to WD18 0HB, the tool ignores the shortest route and uses a roundabout one that is nearly twice as long. ??

Hi Lisa, which postcodes are you using?
By Free Map Tools on 8th April 2017

Have entered 2 post codes but isn't giving the correct locations for either one.
By Lisa on 8th April 2017

Brilliant for working out the distance from B&B/motel to events. Thankyou
By Tess on 26th June 2016

Hi, can you explain how it doesn't work please? What do you input, what do you expect and what happens?
By Free Map Tools on 22nd June 2016
