A straight line distance ignores obstructions like rivers, canyons, lakes, et cetera - it's truly a line from Point A (ie- Warina) to Point B.Our distance measurements begin at a specific point in Warina. The point we use is located at these GPS coordinates - Latitude: 45.2333, Longitude: -74.9138 |
