  • 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

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

🚚 Putting This Data to Work

  • 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
