title: Android getting the distance using a Location object
body: <p>I’d like to take a series of samples of coordinates returned by GPS and calculate the (straight line) distance between them so I can graph the distances via Excel.  I see the method <code>distanceBetween</code> and <code>distanceTo</code> of the <code>Location</code> class, but I’m concerned these don’t return the straight line distance.</p>
  
  <p>Does anyone know what distance is returned by these methods or if there are any ways to calculate straight line distance based on latitude/longitude values returned by the <code>Location</code> class?</p>
