  • The Haversine formula will get you most of the way there. It provides the distance between two pairs of lat/long and takes into account the curvature of the earth.

    Depending on the distances involved (e.g. 6km) then the curvature of the earth isn't going to make much a difference from relatively simple trig.

  • Ellipsoids tho. And which ellispsoid.

    I was using them earlier this year, and quickly came to the conclusion that it's just not worth the headache.
