TOROUTE
Navigation and route-planning, made practical — plain-English guides to GPS and satellite positioning, maps and coordinates, and the geo calculators every driver, hiker, and route planner reaches for.
From the distance and bearing between two coordinates to converting latitude and longitude, estimating a route's arrival time, and costing the fuel to get there, ToRoute pairs free hands-on geo calculators with plain-English guides and a richly illustrated Museum of Navigation. Know where you are, and find the way.
Navigation & Route-Planning Calculators
Free tools for finding your way — coordinate distance and bearing, coordinate conversion, route ETA, fuel cost, and geographic midpoint.
Distance Between Coordinates (Haversine)
Great-circle distance between two latitude/longitude points, in kilometres, miles, and nautical miles
Initial Bearing & Heading Calculator
The heading to set off on from one coordinate to another, in degrees from true north plus a compass direction
Coordinate Converter (Decimal ↔ DMS)
Convert a coordinate between decimal degrees and degrees-minutes-seconds, both ways, with N/S/E/W hemispheres
ETA & Journey-Time Calculator
Journey time from distance and average speed, with planned stops and an arrival clock time
Fuel Cost Calculator for a Route
How much fuel a route needs and what it costs, from distance, economy (mpg or L/100km), and price
Geographic Midpoint Calculator
The true half-way point along the great-circle route between two coordinates, correct at any distance
Museum of Navigation
Explore an immersive museum of how humanity finds its way — the GPS and satellite constellations that fix a position from orbit, the maps and projections that flatten the round Earth, the compasses, sextants, and receivers that point the way, and the lighthouses, meridians, and stars we steer by, each in its own gallery, so you can get to know the story behind every method: how it works, where it came from, and why it still matters.
