Through a complex example, we learn how journeys are measured when the points are not on the equator and how this is calculated using Theta.

Great-circle distances might be the shortest way to travel, but they are not always the easiest. We also look at how lines of latitude aren't great-circles and that permission must be acquired to fly over many countries.
