Footnotes ...
<1> | The location has been supplied by the Geographic Names Information System - which is maintained by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS). While these values should be definitive, we found that accuracy can vary and you should double-check the location if accuracy is required. |
<2> | Our distances are not driving distances, but are calculated as a 'straight-line' (or 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- Lee - Mitchell) to Point B.Our distance measurements begin at a specific point in Lee - Mitchell. The point we use is located at these GPS coordinates - Latitude: 37.2940, Longitude: -80.1042 In this case, the coordinates for Lee - Mitchell have been provided by the Geographic Names Information System (GNIS). |
<3> | While we have tried to pick reasonable speeds, the rate of travel is very theoretical - obstacles like fences, hills, lakes, river crossings and rest stops have been ignored. When we say 'Days' of travel, we're assuming 8 hours of travel per day. |
<4> | The shortest line can be visualized by stretching a string on a Globe from Point A to Point B - this is known as a Great Circle Route. Where you might expect the shortest route from Lee - Mitchell to the Middle East to be East and South, the Great Circle Route actually lies to the North and East. |

<6> | The calculated bearing (or angle) to Mecca is 305.337 degrees. |
