MIA LIM mileage produced by mileage calculator looks wrong

It shows as 10,696 miles - surely too many?

You're right; the correct distance is 2607mi. The database has the correct lat/lon for LIM (12°01'S 77°07'W), but it seems to be miscalculating anything to/from LIM for some reason.

I'll look into it.

I believe the mileage to YEG is also faulty, showing SEA-YEG as 4700+ miles when it's a <2 hr flight.

Thanks!
