For all the math geniuses out there...given two lat/lon points (point A and point B), what is the simplest way to find the vector needed to reach point B from point A. For example, the vector needed to reach 36, -85 from 36, -82 would be 270°. I am not entirely sure if "vector" is the technically correct term so if there is a more accurate term, comment and let me know. The fact that the earth is a sphere is throwing me off...I feel as if I could tackle this problem if given a plane but the sphere complicates it too much for me. A chunk of code would be ideal but a simple algorithm that I can translate into code myself is perfectly fine also.
