Common Uses & Real-Life Examples

Measure distance between field sites

Project teams can compare GPS coordinates for two survey, monitoring or service-delivery locations.

Check travel or logistics distances

Logistics staff can estimate straight-line distance between warehouses, offices, facilities or delivery points.

Compare health or education facilities

Analysts can calculate the geographic separation between hospitals, clinics, schools or other public facilities.

Validate GPS data

Unexpectedly large distances can help reveal mistyped, reversed or otherwise incorrect coordinates.
