A straight line distance ignores things like rivers, canyons, lakes, et cetera - it's truly a line from Point A (ie- New Haven) to Point B.Our distance measurements begin at a specific point in New Haven. The point we use is located at these GPS coordinates - Latitude: 44.1087, Longitude: -73.1712 In this case, the coordinates for New Haven have been provided by the Geographic Names Information System (GNIS). |
