関数: destinationFromOriginOnGreatCircle()

destinationFromOriginOnGreatCircle(startCoord, bearing, distance): GeoCoord

定義: greateCircle.ts:200

Calculates the destination point given a start point, bearing, and distance on a great circle.

パラメータ

startCoord

GeoCoord

The starting geographic coordinate

bearing

number

The initial bearing in degrees (0 = north, 90 = east, etc.)

distance

number

The distance to travel in meters

戻り値

GeoCoord

The destination coordinate

Remarks

Starting from a given point and traveling along a great circle at a specific initial bearing for a given distance, this calculates where you'll end up.

Note: The bearing will change along the path (except when traveling due north/south or along the equator) because great circles are not straight lines on most map projections.

例

const start = { latitude: 40.7128, longitude: -74.0060 }; // NYC

// Travel 1000km northeast from NYC
const destination = destinationFromOriginOnGreatCircle(start, 45, 1000000);
console.log('Destination:', destination);
