point_from_distance function

Find latitude and longitude for a certain distance and azimuth from a point.

Find latitude and longitude for a certain distance and azimuth from a point.

point_from_distance( coord_pair, distance, azimuth, distance_unit = "meters", azimuth_unit = c("degrees", "radians") )

Arguments

  • coord_pair: A numeric vector of length 2 with names "lat" and "lng"
  • distance: A distance (in meters) representing the distance away from the original point to apply
  • azimuth: A azimuth (in units specified in azimuth_unit) representing the direction to apply the distance from the original point in
  • distance_unit: A string passed to convert_distance indicating the units of the provided distance.
  • azimuth_unit: A string (either degrees or radians) indicating the units of the azimuth argument

Returns

An object of class terrainr_coordinate_pair .
