Oùcécap’s take

Vilnius is almost equidistant from London, Paris and Rome: 1,725 km, 1,698 km and 1,703 km respectively. From London, aim east, at 68°. From New York, a flat map would push you east (78°), but the compass says 40°, north-east. A landmark: Helsinki and Tallinn are due north of Vilnius, almost on the same meridian.
