"as the crow flies"

i'm trying to find out which of a number of cities is closest...

so, i'm unable to use driving directions to determine.. and i don't have a hard copy of a map. looking for something online. it looks like this would be ideal:

http://www.daftlogic.com/projects-google-maps-distance-calculator.htm

but it's not working for some reason.

any ideas?

i thought google earth had this?

you can also use state/county gis, if the cities are close enough to where ever you're measuring to

that's weird, it's not working for me in firefox

it worked with IEtab though, thanks.

and if anyone was curious.... blacksburg, va is 5 miles further than raleigh from where i live

^it may, i didn't have immediate access to GE so i was looking for something online. thanks though
