What starting lat/long did you use for that erroneous line segment?
And what ending lat/long did you get using his calculator?
39.097 (N), 77.107 (W), bearing 110 range 1452.
Results, as formatted: 39:5.7382 (N), 77:6.1316 (W)
As I converted them into googlemap: GLatLng(39.09875, -77.10311)
I used python to do the minutes conversions to degrees:
5.7382 / 60.
0.09563666666666666
6.1316 / 60.
0.10219333333333333
As you can see I got something different.
I haven't checked further, but my resulting point is west and south of
yours (and south of the beginning point).
Thanks, sir, I see what I've done. "Operator error". I padded with the
initial zero, which clearly isn't the right thing to do. I feel quite
silly and embarassed to take up so much of your time. But of course I
still think it would be great if a comparable converter/calculator somehow
made its way into the "misc" of the next release. ;)
Regards, and thanks again,
