A straight line distance ignores things like rivers, canyons, lakes, et cetera - it's truly a line from Point A (ie- Brentwood Park) to Point B.Our distance measurements begin at a specific point in Brentwood Park. The point we use is located at these GPS coordinates - Latitude: 34.0550, Longitude: -118.4881 In this case, the coordinates for Brentwood Park have been provided by the Geographic Names Information System (GNIS). |
