  • Compass Bearing: the 16-point heading from Tonacatepeque to each place listed — see the distance tables above

🚚 Putting This Data to Work

  • Route Planning: Build delivery loops or sales-visit circuits starting from Tonacatepeque outward to the closest towns first
  • New-Market Scouting: Spot the nearest untapped urban centers before committing to a regional expansion
  • Freight Estimating: Get a fast first read on road, rail or air distances before requesting an actual freight quote
