A straight line distance ignores things like rivers, canyons, lakes, et cetera - it's truly a line from Point A (ie- Windsor Hills) to Point B.Our distance measurements begin at a specific point in Windsor Hills. The point we use is located at these GPS coordinates - Latitude: 37.2529, Longitude: -80.0064 In this case, the coordinates for Windsor Hills have been provided by the Geographic Names Information System (GNIS). |
