Compute true course and distance between points.

Enter lat/lon of points, select distance units and earth model and click "compute". Lat/lons may be entered in DD.DD, DD:MM.MM or DD:MM:SS.SS formats.

Note: If either point is very close to a pole, the course may be inaccurate, because of its extreme sensitivity to position and inevitable rounding error.

Compute lat/lon given radial and distance from a known point

Enter lat/lon of initial point, true course and distance. Select distance units and earth model and click "compute". Lat/lons may be entered in DD.DD, DD:MM.MM or DD:MM:SS.SS formats.

Note: The starting point cannot be a pole.
