How to Avoid Highways and Toll Roads How to change travel time

To choose the best route, taking into account traffic congestion and the availability of public transport, you can always change the date and time of the upcoming trip. To do this, follow these steps:

1. Open Google Maps on your computer.
2. Get directions.
3. After you have created a route, press Departure now.
4. To change the date and time of your trip, select Departure: or Arrival:.

Note. If you have selected multiple destinations, this feature will not be available.

To send a route to another user, do the following:

How to send a route to a phone or tablet

To send a route to your phone or tablet, do the following:

1. Open Google Maps on your computer and sign in to your account.
2. Get directions. On the left panel, click Send route to phone.
3. Send the route to the selected device, via email or SMS.

Note. You can only send routes with one destination to your phone or tablet.

The form allows you to calculate distances and plot the optimal route (divided into sections) between cities online. In addition, you can calculate the estimated fuel consumption required to travel from point A to point B, and its cost.

If there is such a need, then as additional conditions, you can specify which cities you definitely want to pass through or, conversely, which cities and countries you don’t want to visit.

Online route planning

Fill in the form fields, press the "CALCULATE" button and after that a route map with a list of sections of the route will appear on the screen, which, if desired, can be printed on a separate sheet of paper and taken with you on the road:

How to correctly calculate the route by car between cities

Traveling in your own car brings not only an unforgettable experience, but also provides complete freedom of choice. You can choose one optimal route, which will be both convenient and comfortable, and will allow you to enjoy all the charm of the sights and the surrounding landscape, in those places that are selected independently.

So that the trip is not overshadowed by various unpleasant situations, such as wandering in search of the right road, or a complete misunderstanding of where fate has brought on four wheels, you need not only to correctly calculate the route, but also have a visual idea of ​​it.

Choosing an online route planning tool

Not every motorist has a navigator at his disposal, and if he does, then not all devices can calculate the route by car in full, providing the car driver with only general data about what the path from point A to point B will be.

But there is a much better option, a modern service provides drivers with the opportunity to calculate the route on their own, without spending a lot of time on it. Using the form placed at the beginning of the article, you can calculate the route between the cities of the Russian Federation, CIS countries and Europe online.

What data can be obtained by filling out the form for laying the desired route:

• Complete calculation of the distance between cities.
• When calculating the entire path will be divided into certain sections.
• Additionally, you can calculate the route by car and fuel consumption for movement from point A to point B.
• The fuel consumption calculation is a very useful feature - as a result, you can get the total estimated cost of gasoline in order to have an idea of ​​\u200b\u200bhow much to expect.
• It is possible to exclude from the route those cities and sections of roads that there is no desire to either pass or visit; and add those cities through which passage is required or desirable.
• By analogy, you can also exclude or add different countries in the same way.

In addition, the entire calculated route between cities can be printed on a printer in order to have a map in front of your eyes and follow it exactly without turning off the path.

Detailed route calculation

First you need to enter the city from which the departure is planned, then the final destination. Between the graphs there is a small fad - “through”, by clicking on it, you can enter those cities and countries that you want to visit. It is worth noting the type of car (truck or car) - the correct calculation of fuel consumption, speed, and hence the time that will be spent on the road depends on this.

In the first column with a gas station icon, it is necessary to indicate the number of liters that the car “eats” for a hundred kilometers, and in the second column - the approximate price per liter of fuel.

It is advisable to note the points - “ferries” and “dirt roads”, if any will be present along the way, since the correct calculation of the length and time of the route also depends on this.

After pressing the "calculate" button, the future traveler will see the exact route that must be overcome to the final destination, its exact distance, the estimated number of liters that will be spent and the total cost of gasoline.

After the map pops up, you can tick off those points that you need to take a detour, if necessary. By clicking on the "bypass the marked countries and cities" button, the motorist will receive a completely new route, which will take a detour of those settlements that have been marked. Then the mileage, fuel consumption and cost will change. After selecting the desired option, you can click on the printer icon and print a map with the route.

Features of route calculation

The calculation carried out in this form will allow you to calculate the route of movement according to several criteria. This could be a route:

• Quick- runs with an optimal reduction in the time that will be allotted for the journey.
• Short- is laid along the very minimum distance from point A to point B.
• Economy- the calculation is made with a minimum fuel consumption.

After the system calculates the route, all three types of path will be displayed on the map, if possible, if not, then the path indicated on the map will be the fastest, shortest and most economical. It is worth adding that it is possible to calculate in the new version of the calculation only for the CIS countries, Turkey and several European countries. The route laid outside these countries will be carried out according to the old calculations.

Also in each table-map it will be possible to see the distance between cities or settlements, including the designated road crossing points. In addition, by hovering over the road designation, you can find out the number of the route, its name, and the permissible maximum speed, and the arrows in front of the city name will tell you which way the path will run.

Using this form of online route calculation, each motorist will be spared from studying the atlas of roads, will never get lost on the road, and all passengers and the driver will become participants in an exciting journey.

Now you understand that before you go to, you should calculate the route between cities in advance, taking into account your wishes.

The same applies to those car owners who want to know how to drive a car from Moscow to Minsk, which we have already talked about.

Video: in addition to a well-designed route, the car itself must also be prepared for long trips:

Olga

Once a year we travel from Barnaul to Rudny, Kustanai region. calculated the route for the service. Turns out we're going fast. It differs from the short one by 4 km - the directions are completely different. We used the short one once - I didn’t like to go mainly in Kazakhstan.
The service calculated routes more accurately than the navigator. Very competently showed all sections, including the transit passage through Novosibirsk. We have two navigators - both mess up when calculating the route in the Asian part of the country. I will definitely check the service when I travel to Tomsk region. And I will use it - both gas consumption and travel time - not a single navigator does this.

Vadim

The calculation is not always correct. So from Nyagan to Yekaterinburg he counts through Unyugan to Sovetsky, but there is no road there (not built). Thus, it underestimates the distance by about 150-180 km.

Irina

I have been using this service for a long time, I travel around Europe for many years, and the route has always helped out. There are all points, even small towns. However, today I suddenly began to answer that there are no roads between, say, Barcelona and Montpellier, and other queries on my route along the coast from Spain through France to Italy did not find anything. And this is in Europe, where there is a road to every village! Please check, otherwise it’s a pity to part with you, you have always been at your best. Thanks in advance.

Kirill

Used this service once so far. I went to Dombay from Moscow. I laid a good route, I did not lead through the forests. Fuel consumption cleared almost accurate.

Alexander

The service is very useful, but in addition to it, when laying and calculating the route, I also recommend that you carefully look at the map.
The main disadvantage of the service is that it builds a “standard” route and does not take into account local and regional roads, and even more so roads under construction.
And you can also drive along them, and if you travel, it will bring a lot of impressions.

Olga

In the summer, a road trip is planned from Nizhny Novgorod to St. Petersburg, via Yaroslavl: already now the program has compiled 3 route options - I’ll leave the page bookmarked, perhaps.

Andrey Anatolievich

And Crimea is covered by this program. Gathered in the summer for a vacation by car, it would be very useful.

Igor V.

What I liked the most was the ability to print, which a regular navigator does not allow you to do. On short distances, this is not so important, but on long trips it will come in handy.

Hope

We have been traveling to Europe only by car for two years in a row. I usually plan a route and calculate my approximate gas mileage. If I had known about this program earlier, it would have been much easier.

Tonya

A very handy and useful tool. Somehow we were going to go on a trip, but we thought we wouldn’t pull on the money. We looked at the distance and calculated the gasoline — as a result, the trip took place!

Igor Nikolaevich

Is there any feedback from map developers? The point is that you often run into blocked sections of roads that navigators do not know about. But how to report them so that they can be amended?

Alexei

Leonid

There is one problem here, the relevance to this moment. After all, all these services are updated by ordinary people. Yes, troubles usually do not arise with large roads, but with small ones, somewhere there is a repair, somewhere there is an accident. And that's it, sailed, you are sent to a detour. And all your fuel and time savings come to naught.

Artyom Kovalev

Lera

My driving experience is not great, so I use all possible modern means. Used this service when traveling to Moscow. But in the Belgorod region, the map did not match at all. Yes, and the navigator showed that I was going in an open field. Apparently, changes have not yet been made to the programs.

Ekaterina932

When traveling for the first time by car to relatives, it was decided to use a regular navigator, a distance of about 700 km, how much nerves were spent on a “killed” road without settlements and lamps, the road ended up taking more than 13 hours. On the way back, everyone calculated and knew where the gas station was, where to eat and not worry about a breakdown, calmly without stress and much less time and 50 km savings.

Tatiana

I think this service is simply necessary for those who love to travel! Previously, I used only a navigator and, frankly, I rode around the expanses of our beautiful country! Yes, and the time of the trip was estimated by eye. But I think, for reliability, it is better to use several options for assistance, and road signs should not be ignored! Before Christmas, I was driving from Minsk to St. Petersburg, a snowstorm, the signs were completely covered with snow, and here it was VERY useful online service! There were no problems with the location and speed limit!

Alexander Petrovich

I use programs, but only as an additional source of information. If I have a long trip, I look at the route on the map. In order to have a general idea of ​​​​what you will have to face in advance.

Peter

Sorry, I do not believe in the effectiveness of such resources. For six years I traveled from the city of Orsk to the city of Nadym in my car. Almost three thousand turns out, depending on how to go. So the bridge across the Nadym River has been marked on maps and all Internet services since 2008, and the working span was opened in the past, the commissioning of the bridge is in this. In fact, it is a pontoon crossing that is closed every now and then. You are welcome to the ramp. This service will take into account? And how many primers do we have designated as a road with a “hard surface”? And how much asphalt lies up with rubble? And it makes no sense at all to talk about speed limits, signs wander once a month on the highways, then roadworks, then something else. So when you are going on the road, talk to those who have traveled on it, and still be prepared for surprises. By the way, he traveled for six years and only on his last trip, he succumbed to the persuasion of his friends to make a three hundred km detour in order to bypass the completely dead section of Salym - Uvat. I went through the Khanty, Lord, these are the roads that should be in Russia. Oncoming lanes are separated, three lanes in one direction. The hook is decent, but I'm less tired and the car is intact. So I don't believe.

Dmitry

I think that the cards have not yet been brought to an ideal state. There are no people who would monitor the state of the roads at the moment, so relying on old data is simply not realistic.

Olga

When we went to Abkhazia for the first time, we had no idea how best to get there, because the path is not close anyway. With the help of such applications, we quickly paved our route, and with maximum accuracy.

Anna

We plan to go south by car. Now it’s not a problem not only to “lay” a route, but also to calculate the required amount of fuel and save on its consumption)

Pasha

Although now phones with a navigator, and such search engines as hum and Yandex offer their routers. But you need to plan a route separately and have a map with checkpoints on hand, just in case, either there is no Internet or the phone will sit down.

Sasha

Well, such a journey does not make sense at all when everything is calculated and everything should turn out by itself. It is much more interesting to drive when you have neither a map nor a navigator. Language will bring to Kyiv, friends. So good luck)

Michael

Such programs are certainly useful, and help determine the distance between settlements. However, exact time arrival is impossible to predict, because it all depends on the specific road conditions

Gennady

Now it is very convenient to figure out the route of your future road trip, you will be calculated up to a kilometer and a liter of gasoline, but this is far from the truth. First of all, I go to the sites of car travelers and read reports with real trips, with numbers, with rubles, the cost of parking, overnight stays! That's when you can paint a complete picture, especially when it comes to trips abroad. And then I throw my own full story on the Internet!

Oleg

Previously, I also used similar sites, pre-calculating the route and approximate fuel consumption on a laptop. But then, I liked the application on my smartphone more, it is always at hand and in front of my eyes during the journey. At first I used the Navitel program, it allows, firstly, to determine and select a route that is acceptable to me, and secondly, it warns about the congestion of the route. But after he took me to the wrong place, I switched to Yandex Navigator. I have been using it for several years and it is very convenient - I indicated the point of arrival and immediately you have several routes, travel time, traffic congestion. And you do not need to type anything manually, all commands are voice.

Nicholas

I usually look up the route on the Internet in map services. There is no navigator, I rarely go to unfamiliar places. Whatever one may say, the trip always turns out to be longer than the laid route. Perhaps specialized programs do this more accurately, but for me this is a trifle. The main thing is to get to the right place, and sometimes you choose a route longer, but on a normal road. Not always the shortest path will lead you faster. If I'm going to an unfamiliar city, I look through which streets are best to get to. There was a program on a smartphone, but I got used to using it, you get distracted by every sound. So I drive almost the old fashioned way, on a map, electronic 🙂

Sergey

And how to calculate the route on broken roads, where repairs are underway or weather, which make it difficult to travel, and there is no detour for normal movement. Also, under such conditions, fuel consumption increases significantly. On a rare occasion, something from force majeure enters the database for quick response and reporting.

Ivanovich

About 15 years ago, in my car, with my family, we first went to the city of Rostov through the city of Rossosh, Voronezh region. We looked at the road atlas, from which we realized that it would be shorter if we went along a route that did not pass along the city bypass road, but through the city along its main street. As a result of this decision, already far beyond the city in the steppe, the asphalt suddenly ended, and we barely, barely by country roads and gullies, drove to the Rostov highway, a little further than the town of Boguchar. It was tedious to go. After that, I try to always plan the route prematurely. A site with the ability to plot a route, calculating its duration in terms of time and distance, as well as the amount of fuel needed, a very necessary tool for drivers.

Basil

I often travel by car. I found out for myself for sure, you can’t rely on just one thing. Yes, now there are already telephones with maps and navigators, but when I plan a route, I still use similar sites, I make a selection in Word useful information on 5-6 sheets (hotel numbers, addresses, some places, etc.), I print it out and take it with me. Helped out multiple times. Electronics can break, but paper is always with me.

Sasha

I travel long distances quite often, I definitely plan a new route with the help of a similar program that I found on the Internet 5-6 years ago - you need to know the approximate fuel consumption, the optimal route.

Lyokha

For the first time I used online trip planning in 2015 - I went with my family to the sea, a distance of 1100 km. Surprisingly, at all key points I was in accordance with the plan, the difference is no more than 10 minutes. Now I have a navigator, but anyway, I usually figure out the route on GIS. And for reliability, I drive an automobile atlas of 1986 release. Believe it or not, but a couple of times there were controversial situations when it was the old Soviet atlas that came to the rescue.

Paul

Particularly pleasing in navigation programs are the maps of city streets. Is the track a track where you can turn off it, onto an unfamiliar country road? and here, passing Big City, you can get lost and wind around a lot of time, then navigation comes to the rescue! Leads carefully, indicating in advance turns, junctions, intersections. So I was able to get out of the nightmarish Volgograd on the way to the Black Sea!

Denis

Oh, I remember the 90s, when the “atlas of highways” of 78 of release served as a navigator. I turned the wrong way, stopped, took out an atlas on the hood and caught local resident to show the way! It was fun time!

Igor

Nowadays, it has become very easy to determine the distance of your route. I used to specially calculate the route when I went to Kirov for hunting and fishing, but then the problem was with gasoline, so I considered how much to take with me. In recent years, I used the Navitel navigator, then after it led me to the wrong place, I replaced it with Yandex-navigator. Conveniently, simultaneously with several routes, it immediately gives the distance to the object, choose any.

Konstantin

Route planning, especially on long trips necessary thing. Firstly, you get information about the time of the trip, at least approximate, about the distance. Based on this, you know the approximate fuel consumption, which means financial losses. But all this is quite easy to estimate and without using the Internet, a map or atlas is enough. But to come around the cities, here without a navigator, if it is still an unfamiliar city, then it is difficult. Here I always use the navigator on my smartphone, it is very informative and convenient.

Michael

This summer it was necessary to go from Volgograd to Moscow (almost 1000 km). Thanks to such an online service, I calculated everything in advance (fuel consumption, travel time). I didn't expect it, but that's pretty much what happened. Very comfortable, I recommend.

Calculation of the optimal route 2.0

What's this? —

Waypoints in text () Enter the waypoint addresses in the text box. One line - one address, addresses less than 6 characters will be ignored. When all addresses are entered, click on the "Fill addresses from the list" link. Entered? Now you need Route points: The first address in the list is the point of departure. Address format: city, street, house, building. Restriction - no more than 10 addresses. Build a route "As is" - a route will be built passing through the points in the specified order. "Optimal" - the shortest route will be calculated, through all points.

Questions? Offers? Write! —

How it works? —

Google.Maps provides a service for laying a route for given points.
When you enter multiple addresses, the script analyzes all suggested routes and chooses the way to avoid points in such a way that the total distance of the route is minimal.
Unfortunately, there is no way to influence the choice of a particular route from point A to point B.

Known Issues -

During the development and testing of this service, we encountered the following features of the Google.Maps API:

• sometimes the Google.Maps service does not return a response, this manifests itself in the stopped percentage of completion counter, this problem is solved by restarting the algorithm for calculating the optimal path;
• although Google claims that its service can build routes that include up to 25 waypoints, in practice, building routes with no more than 8-10 waypoints works steadily;
• unfortunately, in Russia, the map service is not able to build routes between cities;
• some addresses are not validated - the map service returns neither success nor failure.

Development Plans -

The following functions will be added to the new editions of the optimal route calculation service:

• building a route according to the "old" algorithm (successive selection of the next nearest point);
• building a route "As is" for a larger number of waypoints (now the total limit is 10 waypoints);
• visual formation of a list of intermediate points (the user marks with the mouse cursor the points that should be included in the route);
• visual formation of the sequence of bypassing points;
• saving the calculated route, displaying the previously calculated route by reference.

Do you have any suggestions for improving the service? We will be glad to get acquainted with them. Send them to the forum, the link to which you will find on this page, or by e-mail.

Please note that this web service only uses the capabilities of the Google.Maps API and is not a service of Integrated Programs LLC.
The proposed route is based on a Google service and may not take into account all factors affecting its length.

Distance and Fuel Calculator

Calculation of distances between cities and laying a route by car

Any trip by car requires you to first measure the distance between cities and plot a car route on the map. To do this quickly, simply and conveniently allows a special online service "Calculation of distances between cities".

The distance calculation service is designed to determine the route and distance between settlements, as well as the duration of the journey and fuel consumption. With it, you can calculate the distance between the cities of Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Kazakhstan and other CIS countries, as well as Europe.

The calculation of the optimal route is performed in accordance with road maps and consists in finding the shortest, in terms of time or distance, path between two points.

Using the appropriate settings, you can build a car route according to your wishes and needs. The service allows you to exclude specific settlements and sections of the road, as well as list intermediate points through which it is necessary to lay a route on the map. You can specify the driving speed for each type of road to get a more accurate timing.

What is good about this service?

To calculate distances between cities online, you only need access to the Internet, without installing programs, without being tied to a specific computer, anywhere where there is access to the network.

calculates international distances

You can calculate the distance on the roads not only within a certain country, but also find out the distance between cities different countries if you are planning an overseas trip.

gives accurate calculation of distances

provides additional calculation settings

You can set additional parameters for the calculation (bypassing countries, cities and highways, including certain settlements in the route, indicating the speed on different roads), and as a result, create the best route, taking into account all the criteria.

Laying routes and calculating distances on roads will help when planning a trip on vacation or on a business trip. If you are going on a trip abroad using your own transport, then in the service you can calculate the distance between countries.

Distance and Fuel Calculation is a useful travel cost calculation tool that you can use to easily calculate the cost of a route. Specify fuel consumption and price to calculate the amount of fuel needed for the entire route and its cost.

Going on vacation in your car, you get an excellent opportunity to drive around the nearby attractions. Here again, online calculation of distances and routes is useful, you can lay out in advance detailed itinerary travel and plan (in terms of time and financial costs) trips to interesting objects and cities near your holiday destination.

Using the calculation of the route between cities will also be useful when sending cargo using a transport company. With the help of the distance calculator you will be able to determine the mileage to the destination and estimate the cost of delivery in accordance with the carrier's tariffs. If you yourself carry out cargo transportation, the calculation of distances is simply necessary for you.

So, what does the distance calculation service offer:

You can build an optimal route, look at the map on the map and, if necessary, print the result of the calculations. You can find the distance between two points directly, or change the direct route by specifying waypoints to bypass or, conversely, add and create a route with waypoints.

Find out the distance between settlements

The distance calculator between cities allows you to determine the distance between the starting point and the end point, taking into account the laid route.

Calculate vehicle fuel consumption

Get directions with timing

How to calculate the route between cities

To calculate the distance between settlements, start typing the name of the starting point of your route in the "City from" field. From the drop down list select desired city. In the same way, fill in the "City where" field and click on the "Calculate" button.

The word "city" is used only as the name of the form fields, here you can specify any settlement and do, for example, calculate the distance between villages or towns, etc.

As a result, you will get the shortest distance between the two settlements that you specified. The route will be displayed on the map and in the table. The table lists sections of the route (tracks) and indicates the distance between cities along the roads on each segment of the laid route, as well as the time and total length of the path.

Laying a route on the map

Calculation of distance and fuel

As mentioned above, the service allows you not only to determine the distance between two points directly, but also to plot a route with intermediate points and exceptions specified by you. To calculate the route of movement by car according to your parameters, open the "Advanced settings for calculating distances" window.

Calculation of car distances with additional parameters

Fill in the fields of additional settings you need.

Here you can specify the countries and cities that you want to bypass, then they will be excluded from the final route. And also list through which settlements you need to pass so that they are added to the calculation of the road route. Leave these fields blank if you only need to know the distance between two cities, just enter your departure and arrival points in the appropriate form fields.

Calculation of road distance between cities

In the advanced options window, you can change the driving speed for different types of roads to get a more accurate travel time.

How to calculate the fuel consumption of a car? Fill in the form fields with your data, indicate in them the average fuel consumption of your car and the price of fuel. The service will calculate the volume and cost of fuel needed for this route and display in the table the calculation of the consumption of gasoline or diesel fuel in liters and rubles.

Online fuel consumption calculation

Well, the last setting, it allows you to calculate the optimal route by time or length. Set the value you need: "Fastest route" to get a road with the minimum travel time or "Shortest route" to calculate the shortest route by distance.

Route calculation

After the additional parameters are set, click the "Calculate" button again to calculate the distance and time for the new route.

If you want to remove specific sections of the route from your route, check the box next to them in the route calculation table and click the "Exclude marked" button. The online program for calculating distances between cities will create a route around the specified routes.

Distance in kilometers between cities

The online service "Calculation of distance between cities" offers the calculation of distances between cities by highways RF, Europe and CIS. It allows you to calculate the distance and fuel consumption in seconds, plot the shortest route and, if necessary, print the result.
