Questions
How far am I from the state line?
Use the button on this page: it finds your location (on a phone, by GPS) and opens the distance to border calculator, which shows how far you are from your own state's border and which state is on the other side.
Can I measure to one particular state?
Yes. Open that state's page below and use your location there: the calculator opens with the state already selected and measures to its nearest point, even when another state is closer.
Is this the driving distance?
No. Every figure is the straight-line distance (as the crow flies) to the nearest point of the state line. The drive is usually longer.
