Footnotes ...

<1>Our distances are not driving distances, but are calculated as a 'straight-line' (or 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- Victory Hill) to Point B. In other words: 'As the crow flies'.
<2>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 Victory Hill 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 Victory Hill. The point we use is located at these GPS coordinates - Latitude: 45.3186, Longitude: -75.6986    
<3>The calculated bearing (or angle) to Jerusalem is 306.442 degrees.
<4>The calculated bearing (or angle) to Mecca is 302.832 degrees.
