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- Heritage Woods) to Point B.Our distance measurements begin at a specific point in Heritage Woods. The point we use is located at these GPS coordinates - Latitude: 32.1272, Longitude: -80.8104 In this case, the coordinates for Heritage Woods have been provided by the Geographic Names Information System (GNIS). |
