A few things to know

Before you start exploring.

Are the tools free?

Yes. The initial tools require no account or payment and calculate in your browser.

Is the currency rate live?

No. You supply the rate and confirm its direction and fee convention.

Does distance mean driving distance?

No. The distance tool uses a great-circle approximation between coordinates, not a route.

Will my packing list still be here tomorrow?

There is no automatic persistence. Download or print a snapshot before leaving the page.

Can the tools confirm travel bookings or airline acceptance?

No. Use official providers for current schedules, baggage rules and booking details.
