Just launched a new site on
DistanceFrom.com.
The idea is simple.
Enter any two places, and it helps you figure out how to get from A to B.
Not just straight-line distance.
Not just driving distance.
But possible routes across different transportation methods, including walking, driving, cycling, public transit, trains, metro, ferries, and flights.
I originally built this because I always had this problem when planning trips.
For example, last year when I was researching how to travel from Christchurch to Wellington in New Zealand, I had to check many different sources to understand the options.
Now this page can show the answer in seconds:
distancefrom.com/christchurc…
You can fly. Or you can drive across the South Island, take the ferry, and continue to Wellington.
It even shows estimated time and price information when available.
There are still many things I want to improve, especially long-distance cruise routes.
But at this stage, I think it can already solve around 70–80% of common route-planning questions.
For example, if I want to know how to get from Seattle to Bainbridge Island (
@BainbridgeIsl),
DistanceFrom.com can give me the answer in seconds too:
distancefrom.com/seattle-to-…
You can drive, cycle, or even walk part of the route and take the ferry across the water.

Any feedback or suggestions would be much appreciated!
