  • Miles (mi): the everyday unit in the US, UK and most aviation cockpits

  • New-Market Scouting: Spot the nearest untapped urban centers before committing to a regional expansion
  • Freight Estimating: Get a fast first read on road, rail or air distances before requesting an actual freight quote
