A straight line distance ignores obstructions like rivers, canyons, lakes, et cetera - it's truly a line from Point A (ie- Hanover Hills) to Point B.Our distance measurements begin at a specific point in Hanover Hills. The point we use is located at these GPS coordinates - Latitude: 34.7132, Longitude: -82.8888 In this case, the coordinates for Hanover Hills have been provided by the Geographic Names Information System (GNIS). |
