Bearing Calculator
Our Bearing Calculator computes the initial bearing (forward azimuth) from one geographic coordinate to another. Essential for navigation, surveying, and compass-based travel planning.
How to Use
- Enter the starting point coordinates
- Enter the destination coordinates
- Click Calculate to see the bearing in degrees and compass direction
Formula
θ = atan2(sin(Δlng)·cos(lat2), cos(lat1)·sin(lat2) - sin(lat1)·cos(lat2)·cos(Δlng))
