https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/calculating-lat-long-with-range-bearing.605218/ I guess it's just using this, what does it mean by 'then convert these to the difference in degrees to angular measure to add to your existing lat long' ?

I've got a basic grid set up over an area of roughly 100m x 100m with y direction being north and x direction being east, I'm testing the dead reckoning capabilities of a tracking unit so will have a read out in long/lat from the device after a certain period of time of movement. I plan on...

Aye, basically what I'm asking is what deltas would correspond to what change in long/lat roughly? I'll dig up the source now.

I'm basically looking at a simple way of calculating the latitude and longitude of a point from a known datum point, with distance traveled north and east known (from the azimuth and total distance travelled, using Pythagoras). It will be a relatively small distance so I've read you can use a...

For a small distance (in the range of 10's of metres) how can I calculate the latitude/longitude of a point if I know the distance in ΔN and ΔE from a known latitude/longitude using the 'flat earth' assumption? Thanks in advance :)
