Albuquerque is the largest city in the state of New Mexico, United States. Flagstaff is a city in the northern parts of the state of Arizona. If you want to travel from one to the other it is important to know the distance between them. There are a number of ways to calculate the distance depending on the method of transportation used. If you want to travel by car if you own a GPS (Global Positioning System) it will tell you the distance, time required as well as giving you detailed directions on how to get to your destination. If you travel a lot then it is worthwhile investing in one of these devices as they will save a lot of time and hassle and make journeys less stressful and now they can be bought for around $150-$200. They are useful especially on longer drives such as this journey. If you do not want to have a GPS system then you can use websites such as ViaMichelin (www.viamichelin.co.uk/) that plan the route for you. It gives you directions which can then be printed off and used on the journey. According to ViaMichelin optimal route is 324 miles long, of which 320 miles is on motorways. This route usually takes a little over four and a half hours to complete. Another alternative to find out the distance between two places is to use the scale on the map, however this only finds out the distance via air and depending on the scale can be very inaccurate and is therefore not recommended. In conclusion the optimal route between the two cities is 324 miles by car, however on longer journeys such as this it is recommended that you use a GPS or failing that use websites such as ViaMichelin to plan your journeys.
