Globe Distance Tool

Click two locations on the globe to measure the shortest path along the Earth’s surface (great‑circle distance). You’ll see adaptive distance rings after the first pin, a live preview to the second pin, and a shareable link that reproduces your setup.

Features

  • Great‑circle path rendered on the 3D globe (shortest surface route)
  • Undo last and Clear all
  • Distance rings after the first pin (km/mi, switching to m/ft under 1)
  • KM/MI toggle and a Share button that encodes your pins and view
  • Fullscreen, and Map/Satellite/Hybrid imagery toggle

Notes

  • Distances use the WGS‑84 mean Earth radius (6371.0088 km).
  • “Through Earth” (straight‑line) distance is also shown for quick comparison.
  • Right‑click to undo the last action.
