A straight line distance ignores things like rivers, canyons, lakes, et cetera - it's truly a line drawn from Point A (ie- Edgewood Hills) to Point B.Our distance measurements begin at a specific point in Edgewood Hills. The point we use is located at these GPS coordinates - Latitude: 39.6759, Longitude: -75.9322 In this case, the coordinates for Edgewood Hills have been provided by the Geographic Names Information System (GNIS). |
