LL from bearing and distance

Thu, Sep 27, 2007 8:55 AM

Is there a package that contains a function that will allow me to 
calculate the ending latitude and longitude given a starting point on 
the earth's surface and bearing and distance?  I have searched the 
archives but have been unable to find one and would like to double check 
before I try to roll my own.  Thanks for any pointers.

Cheers,
eric
