Calculate new Latitude / Longitude from Bearing and Distance

[a***@gmail.com]

Greetings, does anyone have a calculation that calculates the new
latitude and longitude based on a starting point, bearing and
distance?

I would greatly appreciate any help people might have.

Many Thanks,
Aaron

Aaron,

I think the formulae shown on the following page will help:

Art,

Thanks so much for the link. I've been fiddling around with the
formulas and can't seem to get it to work. I get a plausible Lon2, but
the Lat2 is a negative decimal. Might you have any suggestions as to
what I'm doing wrong? Thanks again for the very helpful link.

Aaron


lat2: =ASIN(SIN(lat1)*COS(d/ER) + COS(lat1)*SIN(d/ER)*COS(brng))
lon2: =lon1 + ATAN2(COS(d/ER)-SIN(lat1)*SIN(lat2), SIN(brng)*SIN(d/ER)
*COS(lat1))

Lat1
43.067833

Lon1
-89.525639

Bearing
90

Distance(KM)
10

Earth Radius (KM)
6374

LAT2 = -0.914704544 = ASIN(SIN(43.067833)*COS(10/6374) + COS(43.067833)
*SIN(10/6374)*COS(90))
LON2 = -89.52818005 = -89.525639 + atan2(sin(90)*sin(10/6374)*cos
(43.067833), cos(10/6374)-sin(43.067833)*sin(lat2))

try using UTMs, as 1 UTM = 1 meter

You obviously have internet access. Use Google.

I was having this problem and just solved it. Make sure that all you latitude, longitude, and bearing values are in radians. Your resulting latitude/longitude values will also be in radians

Hi - I'm struggling with this exact issue. What do you mean by convert latitude, longitude to radians? I've been using degrees/decimals.

any calculator with trig functions would do. jus need to have the correct formulas for plane geometry o spherical geometry
