You can throw the Lat/Long into an excel spreadsheet and apply this formula for the distance:
d=acos(sin(lat1)*sin(lat2)+cos(lat1)*cos(lat2)*cos(lon1-lon2))
Actually no. A nautical mile is equal to 1 great circle arc minute on the earth's surface. So once you know the angle, you know the mileageJorge... isn't there a constant missing from your formula (possibly the radius of the earth?)

Yup, should have looked closer.Wouldn't this still require multiplying by 60? Additionally, Excel gives the output in radians, requiring conversion to degrees first if this approach is to be used.
