| <1> | Our distances are not driving distances, but are calculated as a 'point-to-point' distance. A straight line distance ignores obstructions like rivers, canyons, lakes, et cetera - it's truly a line from Point A (ie- Nampa) to Point B.Our distance measurements begin at a specific point in Nampa. The point we use is located at these GPS coordinates - Latitude: 56.0333, Longitude: -117.1167 |

We are not confident about the location and the position of our marker is only a rough guide. If we have too many doubts about the location, we will not include it in our database. |
