This will compute the great-circle distance between two latitude/longitude points, as well as the middle point. The script uses Haversine formula, which results in in approximations less than 1%.. Enter either: decimal latitudes/longitudes with minus sign for South and West; degrees minutes seconds in a format like E 32 14 9 (32°14'9" East longitude).
29 kwi 2014 · The straight course represents the short portion of the flight that transits the north pole. Yep, this flight flies over the Arctic Circle near Santa’s Workshop. The total flight distance is 7000 nautical miles (nm). The segment over the pole (that looks really long on the flat map) is only 1200nm, or less than 3 hours of this 15 ½ hour flight.

A simpler model is to use a sphere, which is pretty close and makes the math MUCH easier. Assuming a sphere of radius 6371.2 km , convert longitude and latitude to radians (multiply by pi /180) and then use the following formula: theta = lon2 - lon1. dist = acos (sin ( lat1) × sin ( lat2 ) + cos ( lat1) × cos ( lat2 ) × cos ( theta ))
The Great Circle Mapper ( www.gcmap.com ) began in 1996 as a free tool for visualizing the shortest path between airports around the globe—a geodesic, commonly known as the great circle path—and for computing the distance along this path. A comprehensive database containing over 40,000 airports and other facilities allows users to generate ...
