How Far From Aylmer to ...

We spend a lot of time looking through Gazetteers, Almanacs & Directories that were published in the late 1800's and early 1900's. Many of the Gazetteers include the distance from a city such as Aylmer to various places of note, such as Parliament Hill.

With a nod to our favorite Gazetteers, the straight-line distance beginning in Aylmer and extending to:

  • The National Capital at Parliament Hill (Ottawa, ON) is just to the east northeast (ENE).
  • The shortest distance<3> to Jerusalem (specifically the Temple Mount and the Dome of the Rock) is 5,577 miles [8,975.3 km]<2> and it lies to the northeast (NE).<4>

Footnotes ...

<1>We use the term 'Historic' broadly and it generally means that the community no longer exists. However, it can also mean that the community might still exist, but was significantly larger or had a more 'official' existence in the past than it does now. Unfortunately our sources of data have proven to be unreliable. If you can provide us with more specific information about Aylmer, please let us know so that we can improve our accuracy.
<2>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- Aylmer) to Point B. In other words: 'As the crow flies'.
<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 Aylmer 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 Aylmer. The point we use is located at these GPS coordinates - Latitude: 45.4000, Longitude: -75.8500    
<4>The calculated bearing (or angle) to Jerusalem is 306.529 degrees.
<5>The calculated bearing (or angle) to Mecca is 302.943 degrees.
<6>The calculated bearing (or angle) to the Vatican is 301.352 degrees.
