Our distances are not driving distances, but are calculated as a 'straight-line' distance. A straight line distance ignores obstructions like rivers, canyons, lakes, et cetera - it's truly a line drawn from Point A (ie- Philadelphia) to Point B.Our distance measurements begin at a specific point in Philadelphia. The point we use is located at these GPS coordinates - Latitude: 34.2401, Longitude: -79.9832 In this case, the coordinates for Philadelphia have been provided by the Geographic Names Information System (GNIS).
