    Distance between two GPS points

    Is there a program or does anybody know how to figure the distance between two GPS points. I am currently getting all the GPS coordinates for all of our lease stand areas and I was looking to see if there was a way to figure how far apart they are from each other. I know some leases require that stands be so far apart from each other so there must be a way to do this.

    Enter the points in Google Earth and use the ruler feature to find distance between.

                    I use a hand help GPS unit (or probably could use a smart phone) and mark locations at the lease or public lands I hunt. I then will put the coordinents in Google Earth and save/print them. With the ruler function you can measure a straight line distance or a zig-zag trail. In GE go to "Tools-Ruler" and it's easy.

                          A lot of GPS's come with mapping software that will do that and a whole bunch of cool extra things with your stand locations.

                            Thanks guys. Playing with Google Earth here at home is frustrating- dial up takes forever but I will work on it.

                              Google Earth has very high resolution updates. My lease was updated in Feb. I can see all stands and feeders. It's very handy to scout and figure lay out of stands.
