You can buy a large map of America (foreign countries too,or look them
up at online book stores) at a book store and get a pin and string and
pencil,or use two pencils instead of a pin.Put the pin in the center of
your home town (on the map) and use that as a simple compass to get the
miles distance from your home town to other towns/cities.Rand McNally
Road Atlases have a map page with the miles distance from major cities
to other major cities.Rand McNally Road Atlases are sold in book stores
and Wal Mart stores and and similar department stores.Rand McNally Road
Atlases are great to have.I bought a new Rand McNally Road Atlas for
$4.97 a few years ago because my dog ate the Oklahoma/Oregon page out of
my old Rand McNally Road Atlas when she was a little puppy.
