| From Classbrain.com Geography How Far Is It? “This service uses data from the US Census and a supplementary list of cities around the world to find the latitude and longitude of two places, and then calculates the distance between them (as the crow flies). It also provides a map showing the two places, using the Xerox PARC Map Server.” This is an excellent tool for calculating distances between cities, which is a frequent request from those writing to “Ask ClassBrain.” Source: Indo.com. 1995. 03 Dec. 2004 © Copyright 2004 by Classbrain.com |
