What is CityDistance.io?

CityDistance.io is a free online tool designed to help users find cities by triangulating their locations based on distance radius hints. It's particularly useful for geography games such as Satle, SatZoom, and UnZoomed, where players receive distance clues after each guess. The tool allows users to input distances from two or three known cities, then calculates and displays potential matching cities on a map. It utilizes the Haversine formula for accurate great circle distance calculations, supporting kilometers, miles, and nautical miles. Beyond games, it serves as an educational resource for visualizing spatial relationships and a practical aid for travel planning, helping users find cities within specific radii.

FAQs

How accurate are the distance calculations on CityDistance.io?

CityDistance.io uses the Haversine formula, which provides accuracy within 0.5% for most distances on Earth. For geography games, a tolerance of 10-15% is applied to account for rounded distance hints, ensuring reliable results.

Can I use CityDistance.io to solve games like SatZoom and Satle?

Yes, CityDistance.io is specifically designed to help solve geography games like SatZoom and Satle. You can input the capital cities you've guessed and the distance hints provided by the game to triangulate potential answers.

Why do distance circles appear distorted on the map?

The distortion of distance circles on the map is due to the Mercator projection used in web maps. While they may look elliptical, these shapes accurately represent true equal distances on the spherical Earth, especially for larger distances.
