I do not see anything corresponding to "1a" in that data. I see latitude and longitude data.
Is there a particular specific latitude and longitude that you want to calculate the distance to and use that distance as your x axis? If so then would it be acceptable to use Euclidean distance, or does the curvature of the Earth need to be taken into account to calculate a Great Circle distance? If G.C. distance is required, then where is your altitude data, which would be required to calculate the appropriate distance along a reference ellipsoid?
