How to calculate Aerial Distance:
Aerial distance means the straight-line distance (as the crow flies) between your village and the nearest Municipality or Cantonment Board. You can easily measure it using Google Maps. Here’s how:
Open Google Maps.
Search and right-click on your village location (e.g., Wagholi, Pune).
Select "Measure distance".
Click on the location of the nearest Municipality or Cantonment Board.
Google Maps will show the aerial distance in kilometers (KM).
