How Distance Is Calculated<\/h3>\n
Overture calculates distances \u201cas the crow flies\u201d in a straight line between two geographic points.<\/p>\n
This differs from Google Maps directions, which calculates travel distance based on driving routes. In the context of radius clauses, industry convention (and legal precedent) supports the use of straight-line distance, and Overture follows this principle.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\nBookings or Calendar Events?<\/h3>\n
If your account uses Calendar Events, Overture checks the event location instead of the booking’s venue field.<\/p>\n
- \n
- The Radius Check only applies to performance-type events, not all event types.<\/li>\n
- If Performance Calendar Events are not enabled, the venue listed on the booking page is used.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
