KenyaThe Distance Calculator API by APIVerve computes the great-circle geodesic and Haversine distances between any two geographic coordinates (latitude and longitude). It returns distance measurements in kilometers, miles, meters, and nautical miles, alongside initial bearing angles.
In Nigeria, logistics startups (Fez, Gokada, Kwik), food delivery apps (Chowdeck), and dispatch dispatchers use this API to calculate base delivery pricing and match the closest rider to a pickup location without paying high per-request Google Maps Distance Matrix fees.
