A straight line distance ignores things like rivers, canyons, lakes, et cetera - it's truly a line drawn from Point A (ie- Parkway Place) to Point B.Our distance measurements begin at a specific point in Parkway Place. The point we use is located at these GPS coordinates - Latitude: 33.9643, Longitude: -81.1051 In this case, the coordinates for Parkway Place have been provided by the Geographic Names Information System (GNIS). |
