A straight line distance ignores obstructions like rivers, canyons, lakes, et cetera - it's truly a line drawn from Point A (ie- Normandy Heights) to Point B.Our distance measurements begin at a specific point in Normandy Heights. The point we use is located at these GPS coordinates - Latitude: 50.4316, Longitude: -104.6355
