04 Mar 2010 Compute the Great Circle Distance between two points compute the great circle distance between two points given lat and long. Author: Steve Ratts Kenney, William

This function seems to be based on the assumption that a and b, the major and minor radii of the Earth, are the same. This allows a simplification, as can be seen in the wiki linked above, but it is not the full Vincenty.

A full implimentation would require an iterative appproach.
