Nav Bearing From Place

AI-generated

Summary

Calculates endpoint coordinates at a specified bearing and range from a place, using great-circle or rhumbline geometry.

Inputs

  • search_address (required) — Any place name, address, postcode, or airport code to serve as the starting point.
  • bearingDeg (required) — Degrees clockwise from North to the target location.
  • rangeNmBearing (required) — Range in nautical miles from the starting place to the target location.
  • doMagnetic — Whether to account for magnetic variation and use a magnetic bearing.
  • doGreatCircle — Whether to compute great-circle arclength (true) or rhumbline (false).

Output shape

A single record with endpoint coordinates (latitude and longitude).

The operation accepts the starting place by name and returns the coordinates for the calculated endpoint. The result does not include the distance or bearing.

Examples

Example 1: Find the coordinates 50 nautical miles east of London Heathrow at a 90-degree bearing.

search_address: London Heathrow, bearingDeg: 90, rangeNmBearing: 50

Example 2: Calculate a magnetic heading destination from an airport.

search_address: KJFK, bearingDeg: 135, rangeNmBearing: 100, doMagnetic: true
