I did not realize it until I had to present the data that I used the formula for in the code that I wrote, but the bearing was off. The bearing that aircraft use orients the degreesfrom 0 at north to 90 at east, to 180 at south, etc. The bearings that I had where I needed that formula for were...

I have a list of bearings that I want to convert. The normal degrees circle is oriented with 0 to 360 going counter clockwise. I have degrees calculations that require this. I have a set of data from bearings from an aircraft where I need to convert those bearings to normal degrees bearings. As...

Yes it does. Appreciate it.

My application is for sonar work, programming in matlab. When I get the answer from the other thread... I just multiply that latitude by 2025yds per degree of latitude AND longitide? Is that true, because of the fact that I have to convert longitude given the latitude for Theta E

I have two latitude/longitude points. They are really close together. What I want to do is find the difference between the two longitides and calculate how many yards that would be. If I did the calculation with with the two latitudes, it would be just 2025yds per minute of latitude. However...

Also, when you input the latitude L for Theta_E, is that in degrees.minutes.seconds or as a decimal?

The formula seemed to have worked well. I am just making sure though,... Is the answer in lat/long as a decimal? or is it Degrees.minutes.seconds.

All, I have a latitude/longitude and I want to find another latitude/longitude given a range to the location and the bearing from the latitude and longitude I have. I have tried using the Haversine formula, which did not work for me because it is for ranges that are in hundreds of...
