How to Find the Distance From City to City

Finding out the distance between cities has become an easy task with technological advances. In seconds, you can map your multiday trip anywhere in the world with step-by-step driving directions and an estimated arrival time. You can even select alternate routes based on time, mileage and scenery. Some programs will also let you know how much your trip will cost in tolls, an estimated fuel charge and a breakdown of highway and non-highway miles.
