Latitudes and Departures Simulator

Calculate latitude and departure from a given distance and azimuth.

Distance (m)150.0
Azimuth (°)60.0

Results

Lat=Dcos⁡(θ)=75.00 m\text{Lat} = D \cos(\theta) = 75.00 \text{ m}
Dep=Dsin⁡(θ)=129.90 m\text{Dep} = D \sin(\theta) = 129.90 \text{ m}
N (+Lat)E (+Dep)LatDep
