Do you mean distance, range, bearing problems on the earth's surface? If
so, you might start by looking at
http://www.ngs.noaa.gov/PC_PROD/pc_prod.shtml#InvFwd
Source code and executables are available there.
If you do not mean this, good luck as I think your question does not have a
general solution.
