" two great circles that split the
globe, each with a radius of 6225.25 miles"

If a circle's radius on Earth is 6225 miles, it's not a great circle.

Guess the main problem is people are trying to get Google to draw the lines for them, and it won't cooperate. Better plan: get the latitude-longitudes from Google and do the calculations yourself. I'll check your four points above -- suspect there are slight turns at the ocean points.
