The Great Circle Mapper is one tool that seems to be fairly close to the mileages in the various systems the carriers use. Do a search for it in this forum and you'll get the link in one post or other.

Ground segments are included in the mileage count, so the bus trip (!) from WLG to AKL is counted.

The minimum 3 stopovers (24 hrs+) is per itinerary. You need to have at least 3 of them in the trip.

You are allowed up to 3 transfers maximum per city, per itinerary/trip. Only 1 of these can be a 24 hrs + stopover. (You can use, let's say SIN, a total of 3 times per trip. Either 3 transits, or 2 transits and 1 stopover if you want/need to pass through there 3 times.)
