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- Dublin) to Point B.Our distance measurements begin at a specific point in Dublin. The point we use is located at these GPS coordinates - Latitude: 34.6562, Longitude: -78.7231 In this case, the coordinates for Dublin have been provided by the Geographic Names Information System (GNIS).
