This is small project. lat1, lon1 moves towards lat2, lon2. straight line.. but lat2, lon2 is moving around and point lat1, lon1 must recalculate contentiously until lat1, lon1 = lat2, lon2 (or very close to it. Remaining distance in meters to be logged every 1 second.

From memory,In the location sensor library there is a function called distanceto and another called degreesto.
Or you could do it manually using the "haversine" formula which is OK for short distances

You could also use the Greater Circle algorithm, I have used this extensively in GPS based fleet management products.
