To find kilometers using latitude and longitude:

distlon = lon2 - lon1   = 133-161 = -23

distlat = lat2 - lat1  = 54-48 = 6

a = (sin(distlat/2))^2 + cos(lat1) * cos(lat2) * (sin(distlon/2))^2  

a = (sin(6/2)^2 + cos(48)*cos(54)* sin(-23/2)^2

c = 2 * arctan2( sqroot(a), sqroot(1-a) )  

d = R * c (where R is the radius of the Earth, 6373 km's)

d = 2052 km's

April 30th to May 22nd is 23 days.

23 days x 24 hours per day = 552 hours.

Rate of travel = 2052 / 552 = 3.717 km per hour ( round answer as needed.)
