What is Destination?

The direct geodesic problem: where do I arrive if I travel 100 km north-east from here? On a sphere the path follows a great circle.

How it works

Angular distance δ = d / R is fed into the spherical destination formula (asin for latitude, atan2 for longitude), with the result longitude normalised to ±180°.
