Destination Point

Project a start coordinate by distance and compass azimuth on the 6,371 km sphere. Covers the field “offset a shot” case.

Geospatial & Survey

Project a start coordinate by distance and compass azimuth on the 6,371 km sphere. Covers the field “offset a shot” case.

App id: GEO-04. Reference version 1.0.

How to fill it

Fill the inputs. The tool shows the outputs.

On the tool screen, Calc is the working sheet. Presets stores values you reuse. Reference is the formula, assumptions, and provenance below.

Formula

φ2 = asin(sinφ1 cosδ + cosφ1 sinδ cosθ)

Inputs

Name	Unit
Start latitude (camera)	`deg`
Start longitude (camera)	`deg`
Distance	`m`
Azimuth (0=N)	`deg`

Outputs

Name	Unit
Destination latitude (hero result)	`deg`
Destination longitude	`deg`

Diagnose

This tool does not attach diagnose observations.

Assumptions

Azimuth is true/compass, not grid. Same R as GEO-02.

Provenance

Spherical destination. Spec GEO-11 is this same projection from a known point.
