A straight line distance ignores things like rivers, canyons, lakes, et cetera - it's truly a line drawn from Point A (ie- Suburban Hills) to Point B.Our distance measurements begin at a specific point in Suburban Hills. The point we use is located at these GPS coordinates - Latitude: 35.9148, Longitude: -84.0680 In this case, the coordinates for Suburban Hills have been provided by the Geographic Names Information System (GNIS). |
