find point basic question

Dear geo-cachers,

 

I am looking to solve a geo-calculation problem to find a point.

May be this forum is not a good place to ask that. If so, plaese point me to better matching boards.

 

I got coordinates of 2 points and the angle to point No. 3 + distance from 2->3.

You may call this a vector from 2->3 ?

 

My problem is now to tranlate the angle at point 2 into a absolute geo-angle, so I can target point 3 properly.

Sample: angle at point 2 is 131°. So this is the angle between lines from point 1->2 and 2->3.

 

How can I translate this into a real geografic direction ?

 

thanks for any hint.
