How to use this tool

  1. Resolve a measured distance and north-referenced bearing into east and north coordinate changes.
  2. Set horizontal distance, bearing from north, starting easting, starting northing in the indicated units.
  3. Calculate and compare destination easting, destination northing.

Try this example

{
  "distance": 100,
  "bearing": 90,
  "east": 1000,
  "north": 2000
}

Accuracy and scope

Local planar survey arithmetic. Does not transform datums or account for meridian convergence.
