Oùcécap’s take

Honduras’s capital, Tegucigalpa, sits between two neighbours: San Salvador 219 km to the west, Managua 240 km to the south-east. From London, aim west, at 277°, 8,586 km away, much further north than the flat map’s 242°, south-west. From New York it is south-west, at 207°. A distant landmark: Manila lies on the same latitude.
