How to Calculate Road Miles

Before taking your next road trip, or if you just need to know how many miles you've traveled between point A and point B throughout the year for business or tax purposes, you can easily calculate the number of road miles. Calculating road miles requires knowing only your starting and ending points. While a regular map might be able to provide an estimated travel distance, more accurate online methods are available to quickly determine your road miles.
