Distance to be travelled is speed x time. So 4 hours at 20kn would result in travelling 80nm. Use the Haversine formula to determine the point 80nm away from your current position on the bearing you have. See http://www.movable-type.co.uk/scripts/latlong.html -- scroll down to "Destination point given distance and bearing from start point". You'll need to make sure that you use the right radius figure depending on the units you're measuring in (6371km=3959mi=3440nm). The calculation is reasonably complex, but the Javascript is given there.
