A straight line distance ignores things like rivers, canyons, lakes, et cetera - it's truly a line drawn from Point A (ie- Weaver Heights) to Point B.Our distance measurements begin at a specific point in Weaver Heights. The point we use is located at these GPS coordinates - Latitude: 32.8682, Longitude: -83.5721       In this case, the coordinates for Weaver Heights have been provided by the Geographic Names Information System (GNIS).
