I used Google Earth's measuring tool to get an estimate of the distance
from Cold Bay, Ak to Midway Atoll and it measured the distance at about
2000 sm, or ~1700 nm. Just curious, but what charts or tools did you use
to
establish the 1300 miles estimate?

I wonder if Google Earth uses a great circle measuring method?
