Footnotes ...

<1>The location has been supplied by the Geographic Names Information System - which is maintained by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS). While these values should be definitive, we found that accuracy can vary and you should double-check the location if accuracy is required.
<2>Our distances are not driving distances, but are calculated as a '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- Cheval Lake Club Villas) to Point B.Our distance measurements begin at a specific point in Cheval Lake Club Villas. The point we use is located at these GPS coordinates - Latitude: 28.1524, Longitude: -82.5081       In this case, the coordinates for Cheval Lake Club Villas have been provided by the Geographic Names Information System (GNIS).
<3>While we have tried to pick reasonable speeds, the rate of travel is very theoretical - obstacles like fences, hills, lakes, river crossings and rest stops have been ignored. When we say 'Days' of travel, we're assuming 8 hours of travel per day.
<4>The shortest line can be visualized by stretching a string on a Globe from Point A to Point B - this is known as a Great Circle Route. Where you might expect the shortest route from Cheval Lake Club Villas to the Middle East to be East and South, the Great Circle Route actually lies to the North and East.
<5>The calculated bearing (or angle) to Jerusalem is 310.87 degrees.
<6>The calculated bearing (or angle) to Mecca is 305.302 degrees.
<7>The calculated bearing (or angle) to the Vatican is 309.865 degrees.
