A straight line distance ignores things like rivers, canyons, lakes, et cetera - it's truly a line drawn from Point A (ie- Grimshaw) to Point B.Our distance measurements begin at a specific point in Grimshaw. The point we use is located at these GPS coordinates - Latitude: 32.3991, Longitude: -81.6987 In this case, the coordinates for Grimshaw have been provided by the Geographic Names Information System (GNIS). |
