I was idly wondering if "zapadnee ot ..." is fully synonymous with "k 
zapadu ot ..." and looked it up on Google. Apparently it is, although 
perhaps is found more commonly where a distance is also given. But then 
another set of variant uses arose in the case of the numeral: no 
preposition; v + acc; v + prep (the commonest). Example 4, where a time 
expression is used to express distance is also interesting - is it 
normal conversational Russian?

1. Tu Liem, в 7 километрах *западнее* *от* *центра* Ханоя и в 22 
километрах к югу от аэропорта.
2. Сам аэродром размещен вблизи с деревушкой Momona на Равнинах Taieri, 
примерно в двадцать два километра *западнее* *от* *центра* Данидина.
3. расположенный 9700 м *западнее* *от* *центра* села Травники и 1700 м 
юго-западнее центра села Пустозерово
4. замок расположен в 15 минутах *западнее* *от* *центра* Мюнхена
