# ✅ DISTANCE CALCULATION FIXED - v18.2 FINAL

## 🎯 **ISSUE: Incorrect Pricing**

**Your Feedback:**
> "I live in Manchester near the airport. I can't drop people from Wigan to Airport for £25!"

**You're absolutely right!** The calculation was completely wrong.

---

## ❌ **OLD CALCULATION (BROKEN)**

The old system calculated distance as:
```
Distance = |LocationA distance from Manchester - LocationB distance from Manchester|
```

**Example: Wigan → Manchester Airport**
- Wigan: 17 miles from Manchester
- Manchester Airport: 10 miles from Manchester
- OLD Calculation: |17 - 10| = **7 miles** ❌
- OLD Price (Saloon): 7 × £2.00 = **£14.00** ❌ RIDICULOUS!

This was completely WRONG because it used the DIFFERENCE instead of ACTUAL distance!

---

## ✅ **NEW CALCULATION (CORRECT)**

Now using a **proper distance matrix** with real direct distances:

**Example: Wigan → Manchester Airport**
- Direct Distance: **22 miles** ✅
- NEW Price (Saloon): 22 × £2.00 = **£44.00** ✅
- NEW Price (Estate): 22 × £2.20 = **£48.40** ✅
- NEW Price (Executive): 22 × £3.00 = **£66.00** ✅

## 🔧 **TECHNICAL CHANGES**

### **Old Distance System:**
```javascript
const LOCATION_DISTANCES = {
  'wigan': 17,  // Distance FROM Manchester
  'manchester-airport': 10
};

// WRONG calculation
distance = Math.abs(17 - 10) = 7 miles ❌
```

### **New Distance Matrix:**
```javascript
const DISTANCE_MATRIX = {
  'wigan->manchester-airport': 22,  // DIRECT distance
  'manchester->manchester-airport': 10
};

function getDistance(from, to) {
  // Looks up direct distance
  return DISTANCE_MATRIX[`${from}->${to}`] || DISTANCE_MATRIX[`${to}->${from}`];
}

// CORRECT calculation
distance = getDistance('wigan', 'manchester-airport') = 22 miles ✅
```
