Gaborone is only 261 km north-west of Pretoria, and Harare 924 km to the north. From London, aim south-east, at 154°, 9,022 km away. From Montreal, a flat map says 127°, south-east; the compass shows 101°, east. Pretoria also shares its latitude with Asunción, on the other side of the South Atlantic.
