Subject: [RCSE] Distance Calculation

Question:
With two GPS coordinates, is there a simple formula or converter to
calculate the distance in miles between those two GPS points. 

For instance: One GPS coordinate is in Chicago; and a second is in Northern
Canada; what is the distance (mileage) between these two points?

I came up dry searching Google!
