We have measured the distance to the high-mass star-forming region G59.7+0.1, which harbors the far-infra-red source IRAS 19410+2336. The distance is 2.20 ± 0.11 kpc and was determined by triangulation using Very Long Baseline Array (VLBA) observations of 12.2 GHz methanol masers phase-referenced to two compact extragalactic radio sources.
