teckel NavigationInstall

Summary

Calculates endpoint coordinates at a specific bearing and range from a starting point, optionally converting to magnetic bearing and choosing between great-circle or rhumbline calculations.

Inputs

• startLat (required) — Starting latitude in decimal degrees, positive North.
• startLon (required) — Starting longitude in decimal degrees, positive East.
• bearingDeg (required) — Target bearing in degrees clockwise from North.
• rangeNmBearing (required) — Target distance in nautical miles.
• doMagnetic — Whether to convert the bearing to magnetic, accounting for magnetic variation (default: false).
• doGreatCircle — Whether to compute the path as a great-circle arclength (true) or a rhumbline (false). Defaults to true.

Output shape

a single record containing the endpoint coordinates and calculated details.

The returned data shape depends on the teckel Navigation API response; includes endpoint latitude and longitude.

Examples

Example 1: Calculate the coordinates 50 nautical miles north-east of a starting location.

Set startLat, startLon, bearingDeg to 45, and rangeNmBearing to 50.

Example 2: Convert a magnetic bearing to true bearing and calculate the endpoint coordinates.

Enable doMagnetic, set startLat, startLon, bearingDeg, and rangeNmBearing.
