I've got to work out the distance between several cities in Asia but can't find any of the online mapping webpages such as www.mapblast.com that gives directions for countires in Asia.
Is there a site that offers this service? If so, can you please provide me with a link?

It would also help if there was a webpage that was able to tell me the distance between two places "as the crow flies" (ie direct, not using roads etc).

Hi Fuz,

Thanks for offering to help!

I need to distance from Shenzhen, China (just north of Hong Kong) to each of the following places:

Islamabad in Pakistan, Bombay in India, Bangkok in Thailand, Hong Kong in China, Seoul in South Korea and Tokyo in Japan.

If you can provide any help I would be truly grateful!

Thanks again!

Andy.

The distance between Shenzhen & HK depends on the point of origination in Shenzhen & the point of destination in HK.
If u want to calculate the distance between Lo Wu in Shenzhen & Lo Wu in HK, then the distance is only the number of steps between the counters of Chinese immigration & HK immigration (LOL).
I have not seen online maps that give routes & distances between countries in Asia, I've only seen online maps of Japan & HK.

It may be easier if u use Hong Kong as the starting point rather than Shenzhen, & I think u may use flying distances as a rough estimation of point to point distances.
Cathay Pacific offers direct flights to most of the cities u listed, maybe u can find the flying distances from their website.
