<1> | Our distances are not driving distances, but are calculated as a 'straight-line' (or point-to-point) distance. A straight line distance ignores things like rivers, canyons, lakes, et cetera - it's truly a line drawn from Point A (ie- Belgium) to Point B.Our distance measurements begin at a specific point in Belgium. The point we use is located at these GPS coordinates - Latitude: 27.2375, Longitude: -81.8909 In this case, the coordinates for Belgium have been provided by the Geographic Names Information System (GNIS). |
