| <1> | If we found a location and have questions about the accuracy of our information, we will simply say that the marker is 'in the vicinity'. 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. |

The point we use is located at these GPS coordinates - Latitude: 46.3167, Longitude: -62.7333 |

| <5> | 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 Peakes Road to the Middle East to be East and South, the Great Circle Route actually lies to the North and East. |
