I'm calculating the distance between two plain PointFields in the GIS
branch using the distance GeoQuerySet method [1] and I'm coming up
with some confusing results.

The distance between nearby things is often about right, maybe off by
a mile or two. But the distance between farther locations is off by
quite a bit. The distance between Salt Lake City and Chicago is
reported as just over 10,000 miles, for example.

I'm not sure how to go about troubleshooting this. Any advice would be
very much appreciated.
