A shorter route could be one that leaves out stops C, G, H:

ABDEF has length (in feet) of ...

  AB +BD +DE +EF +FA = 817.7 +512.8 +804 +803.77 +1370.4 = 4308.67

There are 5280 feet per mile, so the route in miles is ...

  (4308.67 ft)/(5280 ft/mi) ≈ 0.82 mi

Shorter route ABDEF will have a length of 0.82 miles.
