🧭 How Close Is Everything to Pyeongtaek? A Distance & Direction Primer

📍 Where Pyeongtaek Sits on the Map

Pyeongtaek sits inside Gyeonggi-do, South Korea and ranks #9 of 28 cities in Gyeonggi-do 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 Pyeongtaek 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 Pyeongtaek 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 Pyeongtaek and its neighbors
  • Side-by-Side Comparison: Stack Pyeongtaek against nearby cities on population and land area — see population & area comparison and Gyeonggi-do city rankings

For the complete national picture, see every country bordering or near South Korea. Handy for cross-border import/export planning, scouting a new travel corridor or lining up emergency logistics across Asia.

🧭 Making Sense of the Compass Bearing

Next to every distance sits a compass heading from Pyeongtaek, 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 Pyeongtaek at a glance.

The nearest states and nearest countries tables sit further down this page, or compare every city in Gyeonggi-do by population and density.

How is the distance from Pyeongtaek to nearby places calculated?

Every figure on this page is a Great Circle (haversine) distance — a straight aerial line between the GPS center of Pyeongtaek and the GPS center of the other place, not a driving distance. It's the same math airlines use to estimate flight paths. View the Pyeongtaek map for the exact coordinates behind these numbers.

Is the distance shown a straight line or an actual driving distance?

It's a straight line — the shortest possible path between two points on Earth's surface, ignoring roads, terrain and detours. Actual driving distance from Pyeongtaek will almost always run longer, sometimes significantly, depending on the road network. Treat the figures here as a quick planning benchmark, not a substitute for a live route from a mapping or navigation app.

What does the compass direction next to each city mean?

It's the bearing from Pyeongtaek to that place, plotted on a 16-point compass rose. The rotating arrow marks the degree bearing (0°–360°), where 0°/360° is due north, 90° east, 180° south and 270° west. See it applied in the cities, states and countries tables above.

How do businesses use this proximity data around Pyeongtaek?

Distribution planners use it to pick warehouse or hub sites within easy reach of Pyeongtaek. Sales and field teams use it to sequence visits by drive distance instead of guessing. Market researchers use it to scope out the next-closest town before greenlighting an expansion. See the population & area comparison and Gyeonggi-do city rankings above to size up each candidate.
