I was sorta hard-nosed with the distance. I kept the starting point consistent. So even if it was a mile off, I excluded or included. That's why I really don't have any argument with anyone excluding/including Providence in NYC, Chico and Fresno in San Francisco, etc etc etc......

I used the straight line distance feature on Gmaps Pedometer and came up with 141 from downtown Atlanta to downtown Huntsville. I've found that site to be quite accurate in the past. Which method/site did you use?
