How It Works
Adding Real-World Distance to Your Calculations in Five Steps
It works by measuring the distance between two addresses and applies a per kilometre (miles and kilometers) cost to each unit. Businesses can lock in the first address as the default address to compare it against. Or, allow users to choose between two locations, becoming a distance calculator tool.
First, add the Google Maps API to the global settings page of the Stylish Cost Calculator.
Modify or create a new calculator form and introduce the “Distance-Based Calculations” module.
Determine your rate, whether per kilometer or meter.
Give users the flexibility to input two addresses or lock one as your business location.
Decide if users must provide this data or if it remains an optional field.
Note:
Stylish Cost Calculator is exclusively for WordPress and, for this feature, integrates effortlessly with the Google Maps API. For broader application connectivity, webhook features allow integration with platforms like Zapier or Make.com, connecting you to 5000+ apps.

Wrapping Up
The distance calculator map is more than just a simple tool; it’s an innovative solution tailored for businesses aiming to measure distance with accuracy and efficiency. Whether it’s for delivery services needing to find the distance between multiple points along a supply route or construction firms calculating the length of a straight line for a new project, this calculator stands out. Users can swiftly enter an address or a set of coordinates, and the calculator will then display the exact mileage in miles or kilometers. Notably, this feature takes elevation into account, ensuring that transportation and logistics companies get precise readings, even in terrains with varying altitudes. Additionally, businesses can save their frequently used routes using the bookmark feature and share the map with partners or teams via platforms like Twitter or Facebook.
The tool empowers businesses by allowing them to draw a line on a map, automatically updating as adjustments are made to the route. It’s about optimizing operations, from supply chain logistics to service deliveries. Companies can track each segment of their routes, switch between different pathways, and calculate the length needed for specific projects. Real-time elevation details can be invaluable for industries such as construction or telecommunications, where height matters. The output capabilities of the calculator provide features like the ability to circle or mark specific areas, essential for highlighting a property’s border or fence line. For firms that manage extensive data, they can sync their saved routes across devices, ensuring that their teams always have the latest information on hand. Plus, with the distance calculator’s ability to suggest additional insights, businesses are equipped with every detail they need, down to the length in feet of a significant object on a plot or street.
