Questions
What is AvMap?
AvMap is a free, browser-based flight route mapper. Type airport
codes such as JFK-LHR and it draws the great-circle
route, calculates the distance, and shows airport details on a
flat map or a 3D globe.
Is AvMap free?
Yes. Mapping routes, ranges, and airports, sharing links, and exporting images are free and need no account. Optional paid features may come later, but the core mapper will stay free.
How do I map a flight route?
Type IATA or ICAO airport codes joined by hyphens, such as
JFK-LHR. Chain stops with JFK-LHR-DXB,
and separate independent routes with commas, such as
JFK-LHR, LAX-HND.
How are flight distances calculated?
AvMap uses great-circle distance: the shortest path between two airports over the Earth’s surface, calculated on a sphere with a mean radius of 6,371 km. Distances are shown in nautical miles, statute miles, or kilometers. Actual flown distances are usually longer because of airways, ATC, weather, and jet streams.
How do I draw an aircraft range ring?
Type a distance, a unit, and an airport joined with
@, such as 3000nm@DXB. AvMap shades the
geodesic circle of everything within that distance. Radii can be
in nm, mi, or km and can be mixed with routes.
Which airports does AvMap include?
More than 41,000 airports and airfields worldwide, from major hubs to grass strips, in the open OurAirports dataset, searchable by IATA code, ICAO code, city, or name. The data is refreshed weekly.
Can I share or export my map?
Yes. Copy a link that reopens the exact map, or export a 2560×1440 image ready for blog posts, presentations, and social media.
Can I use AvMap for flight planning?
No. Routes, distances, and times are approximate and intended for visualization, research, and planning discussions only. Please leave navigation to the real charts.
