A straight line distance ignores obstructions like rivers, canyons, lakes, et cetera - it's truly a line from Point A (ie- Sunset Village) to Point B.Our distance measurements begin at a specific point in Sunset Village. The point we use is located at these GPS coordinates - Latitude: 37.2996, Longitude: -80.0214 In this case, the coordinates for Sunset Village have been provided by the Geographic Names Information System (GNIS). |
