A straight line distance ignores things like rivers, canyons, lakes, et cetera - it's truly a line drawn from Point A (ie- Greenpoint) to Point B.Our distance measurements begin at a specific point in Greenpoint. The point we use is located at these GPS coordinates - Latitude: 44.1506, Longitude: -77.0653 |

We are not confident about the location and the position of our marker is only a rough guide. If we have too many doubts about the location, we will not include it in our database. |
