GreatCircle (Palm OS) is an application for Palm OS based handhelds to compute the greatcircle distance and bearing angle between two locations on the Earth.
GreatCircle is used in conjunction with the GeoDB database application.
GreatCircle is the computation engine and GeoDB holds the location database.
TheGreatCircle archive (gc12.zip) includes GeoDB in case you do not have GeoDBinstalled in your handheld.
