This table is a revision of some calculations I did more than 10 years ago (about 1997) but now with more detailed locales and probably better data. These more recent data were calculated using Andrew Gray's Java-based calculator . The main assumption here is that the earth is spherical with a mean radius of 6,371 km (or 3,959 statute miles). Latitudes and longitudes are taken from Google Earth. (Contact Hugh Webb for comments.)
