A straight line distance ignores things like rivers, canyons, lakes, et cetera - it's truly a line from Point A (ie- Saint Rose) to Point B.Our distance measurements begin at a specific point in Saint Rose. The point we use is located at these GPS coordinates - Latitude: 42.6239, Longitude: -90.4346 In this case, the coordinates for Saint Rose have been provided by the Geographic Names Information System (GNIS). |
