When in Campania, we use the following websites to find information relevant to Campania and the surrounding area.

How Far From Campania to ...
We spend a lot of time looking through Gazetteers that were published in the late 1800's and early 1900's. Many of the Gazetteers include the distance from a community such as Campania to various places of note, such as the White House.
With a nod to our favorite Gazetteers, the straight-line distance beginning in Campania and extending to:
- Appling, which is the Seat of Columbia County, lies 9 miles [14.5 km]<1> to the north. If you could walk a straight line from Campania to Appling, with an average speed<3> of 2.2 miles [3.5 km] per hour, it would take four to five hours to make the trip. A horse and buggy averaging 3.2 miles [5.1 km] per hour would take a little over three hours.
- Atlanta, which is the State Capital of Georgia, lies 123 miles [197.9 km] to the west northwest (WNW). Driving, with an average speed of 63 miles [101.4 km] per hour, would take about two hours, a buggy would take 5 days and walking would take 7 days.

Footnotes ...
| <1> | 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- Campania) to Point B. In other words: 'As the crow flies'. |
| <2> | While we're fans and frequent users of TripAdvisor, you should know that we're also members of the TripAdvisor affiliate program. |
| <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 Campania to the Middle East to be East and South, the Great Circle Route actually lies to the North and East.Our distance measurements begin at a specific point in Campania. The point we use is located at these GPS coordinates - Latitude: 33.4107, Longitude: -82.2901 In this case, the coordinates for Campania have been provided by the Geographic Names Information System (GNIS). |
| <5> | The calculated bearing (or angle) to Jerusalem is 311.026 degrees. |
| <6> | The calculated bearing (or angle) to Mecca is 306.216 degrees. |
| <7> | The calculated bearing (or angle) to the Vatican is 308.565 degrees. |
