Whenever you see a pin sticking into the map, instead of using the ge convention which is roughly in the center of the pin, I use the point of contact between pin and map. Dave

Dr. Gabe and Millers Court

from the house on the left (Gabe's) to 13 on the right (Millers Court) as the crow flies 1.95 miles. From the pin on left ( Gabe's work) to same 1.88 miles as the crow flies. As an aside, I routinely walk further to attend class. Dave
