Plane computation on —. Bearings are measured clockwise from grid north. Distances are grid distances in metres.

How it works

Bearings and distances are computed on the grid from coordinate differences: distance = √(ΔE² + ΔN²), bearing = arctan(ΔE ÷ ΔN) placed in the right quadrant.

For the second point: E₂ = E₁ + d·sin(bearing), N₂ = N₁ + d·cos(bearing).
