A straight line distance ignores obstructions like rivers, canyons, lakes, et cetera - it's truly a line drawn from Point A (ie- Majestic Heights) to Point B.Our distance measurements begin at a specific point in Majestic Heights. The point we use is located at these GPS coordinates - Latitude: 41.3369, Longitude: -111.9799 In this case, the coordinates for Majestic Heights have been provided by the Geographic Names Information System (GNIS). |
