This site will calculate distances from one point to another as the crow flies. Worldwide. Do it by city name or lat./long.

I found that my place in the mountains is only 37 miles away from home, if I had a helicopter and helipad at both ends. By road it's 65 miles.  :(  Some of it winding and picturesque, but 65 miles all the same.

This site has interesting mapping information. It's where I found the link above.

Just because something has been done and has not failed, doesn't mean it is good design.
