Great circle is often used to get the distance "as the crow flies"...that's a lot different than driving times/distance though. Take a look at this UDF:
http://www.cflib.org/udf.cfm?id=502 What I have been hankering for is for google's driving time figures. In other words, I hand it two addresses, and it hands me back the calculated driving timeis.
