Have you ever wanted to know exactly how far it is from one place to another - such as the distance between Boston and San Fransico or you might want to know the distance between Chicago and New Orleans. To find out the distances between any two cities located in the US simply enter (when prompted) the two city names and then click "Submit". The server will begin to calculate the distances and then - presto - you will be told exactly how far away the two cities are from each other. Pretty neat! This site is provided by the Univ of Michigan and Xeroc PARC Interactive Map Viewer service. This is a useful (and way cool) service that anybody can access and use with ease. Highly recommended to travelers and K-12.
