act.utils.destination_azimuth_distance(lat, lon, az, dist, dist_units='m')[source]#

This procedure will calculate a destination lat/lon from an initial lat/lon and azimuth and distance.

Parameters:

  • lat (float) – Initial latitude.

  • lon (float) – Initial longitude.

  • az (float) – Azimuth in degrees.

  • dist (float) – Distance

  • dist_units (str) – Units for dist

Returns:

  • lat2 (float) – Latitude of new point in degrees

  • lon2 (float) – Longitude of new point in degrees
