| <1> | Our distances are not driving distances, but are calculated as a '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- Powells River) to Point B.Our distance measurements begin at a specific point in Powells River. The point we use is located at these GPS coordinates - Latitude: 36.3748, Longitude: -83.9694 In this case, the coordinates for Powells River have been provided by the Geographic Names Information System (GNIS). |
