Footnotes ...
| <1> | 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 from Point A (ie- St-Onge) to Point B. In other words: 'As the crow flies'. |
| <2> | While we have tried to pick reasonable speeds, the rate of travel is very theoretical - obstacles like fences, hills, lakes, river crossings and rest stops have been ignored. When we say 'Days' of travel, we're assuming 8 hours of travel per day. |
| <3> | The shortest line can be visualized by stretching a string on a Globe from Point A to Point B - this is known as a Great Circle Route. Where you might expect the shortest route from St-Onge to the Middle East to be East and South, the Great Circle Route actually lies to the North and East.Our distance measurements begin at a specific point in St-Onge. The point we use is located at these GPS coordinates - Latitude: 45.2686, Longitude: -75.2942 |
| <4> | The calculated bearing (or angle) to Jerusalem is 306.189 degrees. |
| <5> | The calculated bearing (or angle) to Mecca is 302.54 degrees. |
| <6> | The calculated bearing (or angle) to the Vatican is 301.135 degrees. |
