How do I find a location that is central to four others?
Q. I want to know how to find a location that is central to four others. This isn't some homework problem, or anything, it's just me wanting to know something. I want to know what the central location is to four cities, using straight lines, as opposed to using driving routes between those locations. So how would I do this without printing a map out and just drawing the lines out?
