🧭 How Close Is Everything to Port-au-Prince? A Distance & Direction Primer

📍 Where Port-au-Prince Sits on the Map

Port-au-Prince sits inside Ouest, Haiti and ranks #1 of 17 cities in Ouest by population. Every distance on this page is a straight-line Great Circle (haversine) measurement — the shortest path a plane or signal would take between two GPS points, not the longer road-and-turns route a driver would actually cover. View the nearby cities, nearby states or nearby countries tables above.

📏 Reading the Distance Figures

  • Miles (mi): the everyday unit in the US, UK and most aviation cockpits
  • Kilometers (km): the metric standard used almost everywhere else, including most freight and shipping paperwork
  • Nautical Miles (nm): the unit ships and aircraft actually navigate by
  • Compass Bearing: the 16-point heading from Port-au-Prince 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 Port-au-Prince 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
  • Warehouse Placement: Weigh a few candidate hub locations by how close each sits to Port-au-Prince and its neighbors
  • Side-by-Side Comparison: Stack Port-au-Prince against nearby cities on population and land area — see population & area comparison and Ouest city rankings

🧭 Making Sense of the Compass Bearing

Next to every distance sits a compass heading from Port-au-Prince, plotted on the 16-point rose (N, NNE, NE, ENE, E, ESE, SE, SSE, S, SSW, SW, WSW, W, WNW, NW, NNW). The rotating arrow marks the bearing angle (0°–360°, where 0°/360° is due north) — see it in action in the cities, states and countries tables above. It's the same reference pilots, sailors and long-haul truckers use to picture the layout around Port-au-Prince at a glance.

How do businesses use this proximity data around Port-au-Prince?
