My question is there a method / algorithm for determining the "far end" lat/long
of a line segment given the starting lat/long and azimuth that someone can share
with me.  I have a file with points and azimuths and I want to convert that to
line segments oriented in the direction of the azimuth.  I will implement the
routine in MapBasic and step through the file a record at a time.
 
I know that you cannot just simply model the earth as a flat surface and merely
use Sin and Cos of the azimuth (assuming a hypotenuse length of 1) to determine
the lengths of the leg of the right triangle and add them to the originating
point to determine the second point.
 
 
Thanks in advance for your help,
