GeoDestination
GeoDestination[pos, {d, 
}]
gives the geodetic position reached by going distance d in azimuthal direction from pos.
Details and Options
- The distance d is given in meters; the azimuthal direction is the angle from true north measured in degrees.
- The position pos in GeoDestination[pos, ...] can be given as
, or as a GeoPosition, GeoPositionXYZ, GeoPositionENU, or GeoGridPosition object. - GeoDestination[pos, ...] finds the destination on the reference ellipsoid associated with the datum for pos. Heights are ignored.
- GeoDestination[{lat, long}, ...] gives the latitude-longitude destination for the default reference ellipsoid.
- GeoDestination solves the geodetic direct or forward problem.
- The algorithm used by GeoDestination can be specified by setting Method->"Vincenty75" or Method->"DirectODE".
