For accuracy better than 0.5% there is the [Haversine formula](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haversine_formula) - see Julia code [here](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/geodesy-how-to-calculate-the-straight-line-distance-between-two-locations-which-is-represented-by-longitude-and-latitude/19984/6).
