Getting distance between multiple cities

I'm looking for an easy way to find out the distances in miles (as the crow flies) between multiple cities.

Example (New York):

New York, NY - Tampa, FL New York, NY - Las Vegas, NV New York, NY - Moscow, Russia etc

I have over 20 cities that I need to determine the distance between... That's a lot of looking up to do manually (not just between the main city and other cities but between every city and every city)...

Any ideas?

Once you get the latitude/longitude from the Google Maps API geocoder, you can use the Geometry library to calculate the distances between them.

The Google Maps API might help you get the Latitude and Longitude of each, then you could use an algorithm (like http://www.movable-type.co.uk/scripts/latlong.html) to calculate the distances.
