How can I get the distance between two points on Earth based solely on their GPS coordinates?
-
Ok for instance the distance between Bruxelles 50°50′48″N 4°21′9″E and Dublin 53°34'72''N -6°25'92''W. If you don't have the formula but know a website doing the deed it is just as good. Many thanks Regards

If you're actually interested in the formula, it's called the "Great Circle Distance". http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great-circle_distance Most programs use the Vincenty formula. If you need this kind of nerdy math, http://williams.best.vwh.net/avform.htm#Dist is a very handy reference.
