I need help tweaking a geography measurement.

I'm looking at a new job.

Problem is to qualify I need to be living no more than 15mi distance. I can measure border to border using any two points but must come out w/ in a 15mi distance. I've got it on 20mi w/ mapquest type search. Can anyone help me out w/ a more refined GPS type search.

You da man !:)

1. buy a map, print map of your area
2. put a point at the job
3. look at the scale, get a calculator and figure out what 15mi distance translates to on the map.
4. See if that distance is <= to 15mi.

Ha, all good guesses.

I'm actually an Urban Outdoors-man (homeless guy).

Just a bit of humor there. :love:

Checked out Google Earth. Couldn't even make 15 it in Nautical miles.

The ironic part ? I don't even like my town.

Problem: My house is muy bien. Don't want to give it up. Just the town sux. Plus, I'm inside two years w/ capital gains... it would be lunacy.
