Get directions by car

This service allows you to quickly get a route between any cities

Russia and Abroad, and immediately see the route laid out on the map.

Why do you need a distance calculator?

Look at which cities will pass the route, you will be able to decide in advance on a place to stay for the night.

You will see the approximate fuel consumption for the entire trip and be able to estimate financial
expenses. You will know how long you will spend on the road.

How to get directions by car?

First you need to set the starting and ending points of the route. In the calculator

The calculation has two fields - “city from” and “city to”. Enter in the appropriate fields

Names of cities.

In the “fuel consumption” field, enter the corresponding characteristics of your car

(in liters per 100 kilometers). In the “fuel price” field - the average price of gasoline,
with which you fuel your car.

This data is needed to calculate the total fuel costs for the entire trip.

In the “additional distance calculation settings” tab, you can specify more

Several conditions:

- “Detour countries” - do not lay a route through the territory of the specified countries.

The function is especially useful for international transport. Allows you not to stop by

To the territory of countries with visa regime and avoid customs inspections.

- “Detour of cities” - do not lay a route through the territory of the specified

Cities. If you do not want to pass through a certain city, enter its name in

This field.

- “Detour routes” - exclude the specified routes from the calculation.

- “Through cities” - the function allows you to navigate a route through a specific

A city or cities, even if they lie outside the shortest path.

- “Speed ​​on the road” - there are 4 types of roads - territorial,

Regional, highway, motorway. You can exclude one from the calculation

Or several types.

You can plot a route by car in one of two modes:

The shortest route is the minimum distance from one city to another;

The fastest route - the minimum travel time (only

Expressways).

After you have set all the conditions, click the “calculate” button.

On the map that appears, the route will be marked with a thick red line, and all cities along the route will be marked with red markers.

The calculation results are presented in the form of a table, which shows the length of the entire path, the time in

trip, total fuel consumption and the amount this fuel will cost.

The table also contains a list of all cities through which the route is laid, with

Division into regions and countries.

The results obtained can be printed on a printer and taken with you on the road instead

Atlas. If you have the ability to access the Internet in your car (for example, through

satellite or cellular network), you can check the route and correct it in

Depends on the circumstances.

Please remember that the calculations use average data. That's why

The results obtained are only indicative values ​​and not exact figures.

Distance between cities

When is distance calculation useful?

Free calculation of distances between cities shows the exact distance between cities and calculates the shortest route with fuel consumption. It may be required in the following cases:

• The distance calculation service helps to plot a route for a car traveler, for example, for summer holiday with your family or when planning a business trip by car. Knowing the gasoline consumption and the average price per liter of fuel, it is not difficult to calculate the obligatory financial costs of the trip.
• For a truck driver, calculating the distance between cities allows you to plot a route on the map when preparing for a long trip.
• The distance calculator is useful for the shipper to determine the mileage and, in accordance with the tariffs of the transport company, estimate the cost of cargo transportation.

How to use distance calculation?

In order to calculate a route between cities, start entering the name of the starting point of the route in the From field. Select the desired city from the contextual tool drop-down. By analogy, fill in the Where field and click the calculate button.

On the page that opens, the route will be laid out on the map, the starting and ending settlements will be marked with red markers, and the route along the road will be shown with a red line. Above the map the total length of the route, travel time and fuel consumption will be indicated. Below this information there will be a summary table with detailed information about the route and sections of the route: type of road, estimated length and duration of each section of the route.

The resulting route can be printed or, by changing some parameters, the calculation can be repeated. In additional settings, you can specify transit settlements, as well as adjust the estimated speed on roads of each type. Below the additional settings there are data entry fields for the fuel calculator. Enter in them the current fuel consumption of your car and the average price of 1 liter of fuel. When re-calculating, this data will be used to calculate the required amount of fuel and its cost.

Other routing methods

Perhaps the simplest alternative is to open a road atlas and plot a route on the map by eye. Then, by rolling a curvimeter along the route, you can get the approximate mileage. Estimating travel time will be more difficult: to do this, you will have to divide the route into fragments with the same class of roads and measure the sum of the lengths of the fragments of each class. Further, knowing the average speed for each class of roads, it is easy to calculate the time by dividing the distance by the speed.

If you don’t have a curvimeter at hand, you can use a ruler. Place the zero mark of the ruler at the starting point of the route and move the ruler, tightly adjoining it to the curves of the road.

You can also calculate the distance between cities using tables that are published in atlases and reference books. This is quite convenient for routes starting and ending in major cities. Small settlements, as a rule, not in the tables.

Algorithm for calculating the distance between cities

Route calculation is based on an algorithm for finding the shortest path in a weighted road graph (Dijkstra's algorithm). Distances are determined using exact satellite coordinates of roads and settlements. The calculation is the result of computer modeling, and models are not ideal, so when planning your trip route, do not forget to include a reserve.

There are several approaches to determining the distance between cities:

• distance by road includes the length of the highway and the roads connecting it to the city;
• straight line distance. or whatever they call it bird's eye view, is characterized by a shorter length, but is practically less valuable, because travel usually takes place on roads.

In our calculations distances between cities are taken using roads .

Nagatski Embankment - Red Square - Big Kremlin Square - Kremlin Embankment - Cathedral of Christ the Savior - Luzhniki - Walk of Fame - Krasnaya Presnya Park - Moscow City

If you are afraid to immediately join the flow of traffic, start with a little more long route along the picturesque Moscow embankments. We will start from Nagatskinskaya embankment. We will reach the Novospassky Bridge, cross it to the other side and continue our way to the Ustinsky Bridge. There you will need to go down the stairs. Then we will continue to move forward: we pass by the Kremlin and the Cathedral of Christ the Savior, pass Luzhniki, pedal along Novodevichy Embankment and along Savvinskaya, then along Smolenskaya and Krasnopresnenskaya. The end of the route is near Moscow City, but nothing prevents you from stopping at Krasnaya Presnya Park and celebrating the end of the trip with a picnic on the grass.

All-Russian Exhibition Center - Botanical Garden RAS - Garden of Stones - Ostankino Park - Ostankino Estate

Renewed after the reconstruction and unification of park areas, VDNKh is gradually transforming into a space of a new type. Here you can take a cycling tour through the pavilions, see the beautifully green Botanical Garden or explore the vast park area, which covers an area of ​​about 540 hectares. We advise you to avoid the Central Alley - there are most pedestrians there.

"Moscow City" - Taras Shevchenko embankment - Berezhkovskaya embankment - Vorobyovskaya embankment - Sparrow Hills- Neskuchny Garden - Gorky Park

This simple route is perfect for beginners. We start not far from Moscow City, from the Taras Shevchenko embankment. The route runs along the right bank of the Moscow River. Without being distracted by bridges until the finish line, we will pass through Vorobyovy Gory and Andreevskaya Embankment, passing Neskuchny Garden and Gorky Park. We finish at the Crimean Bridge.

"Moscow City" - Hotel "Ukraine" - Europe Square - Observation deck - Ministry of Foreign Affairs - Arbat - Red Square

Bicycle rides around Moscow are especially beautiful at night. When night falls on the city, there are fewer pedestrians and cars, and millions of lights come on. We will see the impressive illumination of “Moscow City”, the mystical hotel “Ukraine”, Europe Square and Kyiv railway station. Let's dwell on observation deck on Rostov Embankment to look at the Government House and Borodino Bridge. Near the Smolenskaya metro station we will admire the Foreign Ministry building. A night walk will not be complete without visiting Arbat, when there are no crowds of tourists there. And then we will go to the very heart of Moscow - to Red Square, which you can admire endlessly.

Rozhdestvensky Boulevard - Tsvetnoy Boulevard - Strastnoy Boulevard - Pushkinsky Square - Tverskaya Street - New Arbat - Patriarch's Ponds - Garden Ring - Hermitage Garden

The route covers a large number of city ​​attractions and is suitable for those who already feel confident on the road in traffic public transport. We will pass Pushkinsky Square and the Moscow Government, visit New Arbat and Patriarch's Ponds, see the M. A. Bulgagov Museum, the Aquarium Garden, the Satire Theater and the Mossovet Theater, look into the Garden-Triumphal Square and finish in the Hermitage Garden.

Ustinsky Square - Chistye Prudy- Sretensky Boulevard - Sovremennik Theater - Komsomolskaya Square - Sokolniki Park

The beginning of the route is on the Bolshoi Ustinsky Bridge, which can be accessed from Raushskaya or Kosmodamianskaya embankment. We cross the river, pass Ustinsky Square and move along Yauzsky Boulevard, which smoothly flows into Pokrovsky and further into Chistoprudny. We pass the Boulevard Ring, reach the Turgenevskaya metro station and here we turn onto Academician Sakharov Avenue. We don’t get lost at the roundabout and move towards the Komsomolskaya metro station, driving along Krasnoprudnaya Street and further along Rusakovskaya. We go to the Sokolniki metro station and along the boulevard we get to the park. The route is completed. If you still have some energy left, you can take a leisurely ride along the park paths.

Bitsevsky forest

If your soul is yearning for nature, take a circular route around one of the largest forests in Moscow. It is especially pleasant to ride here on summer evenings, inhaling the aromas of herbs. We start near the Bitsevsky Park metro station. Next there are several options. If you are used to riding along embankments and parks, don’t go far into the forest for the first time. And if you feel confident enough, follow the route on the map all the way to Academician Yangel Street or explore the forest paths on your own. Remember that riding through the forest is different from walking on a bike path: there may be rocks and ravines on your way. Therefore, we advise you not to accelerate too much, especially when driving through unfamiliar places.

The length of the route is 7.5 km.

Routes are a very important matter. The joy of cycling depends on where and how we go. Previously, routes were planned on a paper map in pencil, with a curvimeter and an officer's ruler. Now dozens of applications, services and mobile solutions are coming to our aid, from which there is no escape.

The cycling world is quite small, so there are few specialized services and programs. Most of the serious developments are universal - like the products of the world giants Google, Yandex and Baidu or Navitel maps for motorists.

However, different offers are convenient in different ways, to do this we will review several services, identify their pros and cons, and note whether a cyclist should use them. First, let's look at what a bike route is and how it is used, and then we'll go through different types services.

Cycling routes

To begin with, why are we planning a route? Several directions:

• Cycling tourism– when the path is an end in itself, you should overcome it and enjoy both the load and the beauty. This is where experience comes first, not apps. Human participation in planning is very important.
• Walks– here, on the contrary, the route should be planned automatically, indicating the points you want to visit. The service will automatically build the optimal path with minimal costs strength
• Movement– the requirements are twofold: on the one hand, the cyclist most likely knows the area better than any service, and on the other hand, perhaps the destination is new and automatic routing will be needed.

In addition to planning a cycling route, there is also a part of gaining experience. Previously, again, cycling enthusiasts exchanged atlases with marked interesting maps, now the easiest way to do this is with the help of online services.

The second most interesting task is recording GPS tracks for subsequent analysis of your movement. We are talking, rather, about athletes and tourists, because it is important for them to know which elements of the path were simple and which had problems. Nobody canceled the competitive part either. Many sections are measured, and real self-organized competitions take place along them to see who can overcome the section the fastest.

Online maps

The most popular and accessible type of service, perhaps for most, is online maps. There used to be Google Earth and a few older alternatives that weren't widely adopted. Currently, cards from world giants have become a part of our lives, and here's why:

• always accessible map of any area;
• up-to-date information on infrastructure and travel options;
• quick measurements and changes in your own maps;
• discussion and sending of the drawn route.

Yes, in online maps the main thing is “drawing”. Those. services are becoming a replacement for the paper map on which we draw our route using our own heads. It is worth noting that many services are developing towards sociality and navigation, but are lagging behind their specialized competitors. However, most of the “competitors” end up using OSM, Google or Yandex as the basis for drawing maps.

http://www.openstreetmap.org/

The first service worth talking about is OpenStreetMap. Slightly overloaded cards are the quintessence of freedom in modern world. All maps of this resource are compiled and verified by users. Thousands of people around the world mark objects, their changes and properties, and monitor the relevance of information.

For cyclists, OSM will be useful in the sense that these maps reflect not only roads and residential areas, but also many attractions, and, most importantly, infrastructure for cyclists. There are quite a lot of them among activists, which is why maps are so useful for us.

https://www.google.ru/maps

The popularity of Google Earth is gradually declining, but maps from Google are becoming more and more popular. Satellite images, databases of establishments, fast work and wide social opportunities - everything attracts cyclists to the global corporation. Google Maps makes it easy to draw your route, and even easier to store and share it.

An additional, and very significant, advantage is the ability to lay out a route, both pedestrian and road, between any points. Not long ago a new feature was announced. Now Google Maps can plot routes for cyclists, taking into account awkward turns and bike paths.

However, navigation from Google is still inferior to specialized services and even to its Russian competitor, Yandex.

http://maps.yandex.ru/

“Our answer to Google” - Yandex.Maps is actually even slightly superior to the global corporation. And maps from Yandex are good for two reasons:

1. Completeness of data about Russia and the CIS - any other services, including Ovi and the Chinese, not to mention Google, are poorly aware Russian villages and country roads. They are simply not on the maps. Yandex meticulously demonstrates all the primers and even paths, second only to OSM in completeness.
2. Really, good navigation. Although it is automotive and does not take into account elevation changes, the logic that builds navigation routes in Yandex is excellently developed.

In addition, Yandex maps can be used as a source for Yandex.Navigator with voice prompts along the way. At Google, you will have to use additional applications from third-party developers for this.

GPS tracks

A big greeting from professional athletes and car enthusiasts – these are GPS tracks and services for storing them. Navigation used in cars is a fairly old product, and already twenty years ago, recordings of trips - so-called GPS tracks - were in use.

Now services have moved far beyond simply storing information from a GPS navigator. They offer a whole range of services:

• building statistics based on the trip record;
• planning a trip (i.e. planning a route, which is what we need);
• exchange and cataloging of different routes.

As you can see, in addition to the mapping function, track services offer us a lot of interesting things, which is why they are especially interesting. Since we are considering building paths for cyclists, we will consider the corresponding services.

http://www.bikemap.net

Perhaps the largest site for storing and discussing various cyclist tracks. A huge number of downloads in Europe and America, good coverage in Russia and a large number of Russian-speaking users. Part of an association of several track sites including cycling, running, moped and even roller skating enthusiasts.

The route planning is very convenient for the cyclist. An elevation graph is automatically generated, from which you can determine the upcoming load.

There are no problems with the social component either - all routes can be public and discussed. The catalog itself is convenient and allows you to choose a track according to the desired parameters - riding style, total duration of the journey.

To record and follow the route, there is an application of the same name - an almost full-fledged navigator. Perhaps, from the track storage section, Bikemap.Net is the leader today.

http://www.opencyclemap.org

A spinoff from OpenStreetMap uses the OSM map, supplemented with layers of real GPS tracks of cyclists. Beautiful card Europe gives us an idea where this service is especially popular. Unfortunately, there are practically no fans of it in Russia, despite the very rich functionality and the ability to lay out routes taking into account the elevation map and bicycle paths.

It should be noted that the system has a huge number of intercity tracks, i.e. it is used for very practical purposes - to learn how to most effectively travel between cities by bicycle. Actually, for have an interesting trip on two wheels in Europe best service can't be found.

http://www.gpsies.com

A very old and reliable track storage service from Germany. A huge database of covered tracks throughout Russia may appeal to many “old school” cyclist tourists, but these days a weak native application, outdated design and unclear operating logic scare off more users than they attract.

MyTracks

If GPSies is a service without an app, then MyTracks is a great app without an intrusive service. We record and analyze routes. Of course, we are not talking about any route construction.

Sports trackers

For sports trackers, maps are far from the most important thing. But, realizing that the majority of health-conscious users will cycle, run or hike in the mountains, application manufacturers include a route component in their composition. Typically this is a contract with Google or OSM, and further use of functionality similar to GPS track storage.

Unfortunately, a dedicated tracker with routes for cyclists has not yet been made, and the tracks are laid according to automobile or pedestrian rules, occasionally with priority for bicycle paths, but nothing more.
There are a huge number of sports applications. Let us examine only those of them that the author of this article had a chance to use.

https://www.endomondo.com/

One of the most serious and comprehensive services for sports. A huge amount of input data, interesting calculations and statistics. A universal application and universal web service allows you to conveniently use one application for all types of activities, and a strong social component allows you to attract friends.

The disadvantages include the heaviness of the application - with each update, the requirements for hardware increase (especially for available RAM), and the rapid consumption of battery life.

The application lays out routes quickly and well, navigation with a voice assistant works perfectly, but the route is laid out by a car.

http://www.mapmyride.com/

Similar to Endomondo, but with separate applications for each activity. They are not particularly different, but they are a little more convenient to use on smartphones. The application, just like its competitor, loves expensive hardware and works using its full capabilities. Navigation features are quite standard.

I'm pleased with the service. It not only shows the most detailed analytics, but also allows you to plan a route taking into account altitudes, other routes, the results of the cyclist and other cyclists on different sections. This service is an excellent record and route manager with good social capabilities.

Perhaps, for the demanding cyclist MapMyRide - the best choice.

https://www.strava.com/

Strava doesn't seem to be the market leader, but the app is very, very good. Regular Google navigation, a simple interface and trouble-free operation even on weak smartphones - that’s Strava’s specialty. A decent tracker without unnecessary features, which is popular with hundreds of thousands of users.

The latest releases from Strava are adding a social component to discussing routes and competing over segments, which is good news.

Conclusion

Modern directions apps have come out of automotive world and are still as strongly connected to him as possible. In the cycling part, the most interesting developments are in terms of sports trackers. In essence, we can say that if you are an “old school” cyclist and you need good map without unnecessary interactivity, OpenStreetMap, Bikemap and Google will be the best assistants. Bikemap and OpenCycleMap will help modern professionals, while simple amateurs are best off using one of the sports applications.

The routing capabilities in all of these programs are very similar and quite old. This is a layout on a map taking into account roads. The emerging improvements in connection with heights and bike paths are still more of a research and development project than effectively used functions. Trend recent years– sociality, competitions and discussions of routes. These new products are worth using, although they are very indirectly related to effective planning.

Google Maps lets you quickly get directions for driving, biking, taking public transportation, or walking. Best route will be marked on the map in blue, and all others – in gray.

Some routes on Google Maps are in beta testing and may not be available to all users. As you move along the route, pay attention to what is happening around you and take the necessary measures to avoid endangering yourself and others. If navigation directions are unclear, follow road signs.

Notes
