Distance Matrix Calculator
List up to 20 places and get a table of the road distance and travel time between every pair, or the straight-line distances, ready to download as CSV.
How to build a distance matrix
- List the places. One per line, up to 20 — addresses, cities or coordinates.
- Choose the travel mode. Driving, cycling or walking.
- Build the matrix. Each place is looked up, then one request gets every pair.
- Switch the view. Miles, kilometres, minutes or straight-line miles, and download the table as CSV.
What a distance matrix is for
Logistics planning
Feed pairwise road distances into a spreadsheet or optimiser.
Choosing a location
Compare how far a candidate site is from every customer.
Mileage tables
Make a printed distance chart between branches.
Research
Travel times between towns for an analysis.
Event planning
Travel times between venues and hotels.
Field service
Distances between technicians and job sites.
Where the numbers come from
Road distances and times come from the OSRM table service on the FOSSGIS servers, over OpenStreetMap roads, at typical speeds with no traffic. A–B can differ from B–A because of one-way streets and turn rules.
Straight-line distances are Vincenty geodesics on the WGS84 ellipsoid.
Places are found with the Photon geocoder from OpenStreetMap data; check the matched names in the first column.
Frequently asked questions
Why is A to B different from B to A?
One-way streets, turn restrictions and ramps mean the best route is not always the same in both directions.
What does 'no route' mean?
There is no connected road between those points in OpenStreetMap — for example an island without a ferry route mapped.
How many places can I include?
Up to 20 (400 pairs). The free routing service asks for light use.
Can I get the matrix into Excel?
Yes, download the CSV and open it in any spreadsheet.
Does it include traffic?
No. Times assume typical speeds and no delays.
