+Onewithred23 Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 OK...This may or may not be a silly question, but I am looking for a set of coordinates. I have an original set of coordinates, I have a bearing, and I have a distance. How can I figure out a new set of coordinates with this information? Any help would be MUCH appreciated! Thanks!

It's called a projection. Many (most) recent GPSr units can do it. There are a plethora of apps, websites and programs that can do it. Quote Link to comment

Most GPS's are capable of waypoint projection (which is what you are referring to). Check the manual for your unit.

+Onewithred23 Posted January 21, 2012 Author Share Posted January 21, 2012 Thank you....I knew it was probably a silly question. I was trying to make it a lot more difficult than it apparently was. Quote Link to comment

+GMartinTX Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 http://www.fizzymagic.net/Geocaching/FizzyCalc/ FizzyCalc is by far my favorite tool for playng with coordinates, I sure wish a smart phone app was available for it. Quote Link to comment
+NanCycle Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 I have used GoogleEarth to do this. Quote Link to comment
