How this calculation works
The directions link passes the entered origin and destination to Google Maps when you open it. After choosing a route, transfer its distance or individual leg distances into the calculator to total and convert them.
Total route distance = sum of the entered driving legs. Kilometres = miles × 1.609344.A worked example
Two entered legs of 80 and 70 km add to 150 km, or about 93.21 miles. These are example distances.
Good to know
The page totals distances you provide. Google Maps supplies route lookup on its own page. Routes and live traffic can change.

How the inputs affect the result
Record route choices such as toll avoidance alongside the distances. For a return trip with a different route, enter its measured legs separately before combining both directions.
Enter all distances in the same unit and compare the kilometre conversion.

A few questions, answered
Can I use a single total instead of multiple legs?
Yes. Enter the map’s complete route distance as one row, or split the trip into legs if you need a work table.
What does the “Total route in miles” setting illustrate?
Enter all distances in the same unit and compare the kilometre conversion.
