It is 27 miles between FLL and MIA.

Many thanks for your speedy reply

Have a look at
http://maps.google.com/
if you put in one place say Fort Lauderdale FL. click search maps. When it has found F Laudadale click get directions, another box opens up. You put in Miami and then click get directions. You then have the driving directions and the distance = 31.7 miles and even an approximate driving time.
It works for most places in the world. i use it all the time to check distances, locations of Hotels or other addresses.

Thankyou for your useful reply
