Not really. Suppose the three points are (lat,lng) 0,0; 87,0; 0,180.
Your "center of gravity" would be 29,60 - which isnt even on the same
great circle.
(I realize he said his points were all within 10 miles of each other -
but you can still get the same problem with eg 89.99,0; 89.995,0;
89.995,180)
