How can I get the distance between two points on Earth based solely on their GPS coordinates?

Question

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".

Most programs use the Vincenty formula.

If you need this kind of nerdy math, http://williams.best.vwh.net/avform.htm#... is a very handy reference.
