Appropriate distance metric for spatial clustering of geographic coordinates
I can then imagine two ways forward:
Using the great circle distance for the distance metric. … Converting the geographic coordinates to an equally-scaled projection and then finding the Euclidean distance. …

Correct use of the terms geographic, path, and Euclidean distance
I often use the terms geographic and Euclidean distance interchangeably when referring to the length of the shortest straight-line distance between two points on a map. Is this correct? … And, if the "distance" between two points is a weighted function of the path distance (as it may be in, say, a least-cost distance) what would the generic term be for this type of metric? …
