Street Atlas actually will do it too but I'm not sure its fully
documented. This is true of SA going back at least a couple of
editions.

up the "official" coordinates of most towns and nearly all cities,
then use the great circle or VHF plots to return azimuth and 
distance. Look at engineering under the ASD section of the FCC site.
