Where it actually is
North up. The sponsor names these landmarks and publishes no coordinate for any of them — everything positioned here is derived, and each coordinate's provenance is listed with its point below. Dashed markers are depicted: this site's reading of the written route, not published fixes.
- 1 Runway centerline, either direction KRNT midfield One runway, 5,382 ft, laid along the valley floor between I-405 and the Cedar River, with the Boeing 737 plant on the north half of the field.

Route points become a route; reference points ship as waypoints only — a GPS that sequences you to a do-not-overfly marker has it backwards.
