Centroid From Gps Calculations


Recommended Posts

Does any one know how to calculate a central centroid coordinate of a triangle based upon three coordinates? The triangle is an acute scalene triangle. I figured out the side lengths and the internal angles, plus I have the azimuths. I can get it from a geometric calculation, but I am screwing up the coordinate info. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks!

I know that that the Fizzy Magic stat program, found here will generate a centroid as part of the stats. If you could get a GPX file of the 3 coordinates, that may help if they are existing caches.

 

Thanks for the suggestion. I tried it and it works with my pocket queries, but It crashed on gpx files I create in GSAK. All I have to do is create a gpx file with the three waypoints.
