Sorry Puke, but you can calculate the distance prior to trying the device. Just count the squares and use the Pythagorean Theorum to calculate the distance (like Slick said). Will be very close to what the game calculates. You can turn on the squares under to do the count and then shut them off again because they are annoying...Greybeard
