how to calculate distance from pairs of latitude/longitude measurements? [message #65611]

I am working on a project where I will be receiving measurements from
the Global
Positioning System, presumably latitude and longitude measurements,
and I will
need to calculate the distances between the measurement points. The
measurements
will all be taken over a region of only a few miles so I guess I could
assume
the earth is flat over this region and just calculate the straight
line
distance.

But I was wondering if anyone could help me with a more mathematically
rigorous method for calculating distance from pairs of latitude/
longitude
measurements?

thanks,

llo
