Air-Line Lite for iPhone

Quick distance checks on your iPhone

Air-Line Lite is a free navigation utility for iOS created by digitalsirup GmbH. It’s designed to give you a fast, no-frills way to find the straight-line distance between two locations on a map — ideal for travelers, hikers, or anyone who wants a quick distance estimate.

How it operates

Setting points is simple: press and hold on the map to drop a marker for your starting point, then repeat to place the destination marker. The app then displays the “as-the-crow-flies” distance between those two pins, making it easy to compare locations or get a rough sense of distance without routing.

Key capabilities

• Displays a straight-line distance instantly between two map markers
• Lets you drop and reset pins with a long tap or press
• Keeps the interface minimal so measurements are fast and obvious

Typical uses

• Planning general route lengths for outdoor activities or trips
• Quickly estimating how far apart two landmarks are
• Satisfying a quick curiosity about distances without creating a full route

Why users find it helpful

Air-Line Lite focuses on speed and simplicity. There’s no complicated setup or extra map clutter — just a lightweight tool to measure distances on the go. That makes it handy when you need an immediate answer rather than turn-by-turn directions.

Need train schedules or PNR status?

If you’re looking specifically for train bookings or to check PNR status, consider a dedicated rail app such as Trainman Free, which provides schedule searches and reservation information suited to rail travel needs.
