A straight line distance ignores things like rivers, canyons, lakes, et cetera - it's truly a line from Point A (ie- Beverly Woods) to Point B.Our distance measurements begin at a specific point in Beverly Woods. The point we use is located at these GPS coordinates - Latitude: 39.8201, Longitude: -75.4796 In this case, the coordinates for Beverly Woods have been provided by the Geographic Names Information System (GNIS). |
