Hello - I am hoping for some assistance with what I hope is a simple problem. The terminology I use may be incorrect so please feel free to correct.
Given an origin of X1 and Y1, I would like to project a given distance and bearing and then calculate the resulting X2 and Y2. Distances would be in metres and bearing would be in degrees, treating north as zero. I have been experimenting with the following but cannot get it to work:
X2=X1+[cos(angle)*Distance]
Y2=Y1+[sin(angle)*Distance]
