First write as , and note that the function is positive on the sphere so the absolute value signs can be discarded. Then solve for x to get . Call this function G ( h ). On the Mercator map, the straight line from A ( h =.711, L =0) to B ( h =.649, L =1.694) is . The rhumb line on the sphere is therefore. The metric on the sphere is , so the ...
Formulas. calculation for incr. latitude. formula : ( 7915,7 * log tan (45° + lat/2)) - (3437,7 * e*e * sine lat) course (c.) or (bearing) rhumb. formula : tang. c. = longitude difference/increased latitude difference. loxodromic distance (rhumb line) orthodromic distance (gc great circle) formula : cos gc = (sine lat a * sine lat b) + (cos ...
Rhumb line course from LAX to JFK: LAX (0.592539,2.066470) and JFK is (0.709185,1.287762) ... Erroneously corrected one formula, then changed it back! Added a numerical example for the calculation of the endpoint of a rhumb line. Added some more spherical triangle formulae. 1.12. Somehow I dropped a line in the the 1.08 atan2 fix. Sigh! Added ...
8 wrz 2015 · Yes, I wish to calculate the along-rhumb-line distance(km) from point 1 to point 2 – Giando. Sep 7, 2015 at 20:38. I'm not matching your results on the movable type page. I'm getting 14910km on the rhumb line distance calculator (which is due West on your original coordinates. It is matching within 40km to the value I get in Esri's projection ...
15 paź 2023 · All calculations have a graphical view, also clearly explained in the theory section. With the rhumb line (loxodrome) calculator you calculate course and distance between a departure position and an arrival position, or find the estimated position starting from a given departure position and a course and distance to go.
19 lut 2024 · Nautical Calculator is an Android application that calculates rhumb line and great circle navigation. The application is totally free. - Given two coordinates, great circle and rhumb line courses, distances, great circle vertex and meridional parts is calculated, is show graphics. - Given a position, new position is determined by advancing it ...
21 paź 2009 · In the course of this work it became apparent that the standard text books of navigation were perpetuating a flawed method of calculating rhumb lines on the Earth considered as an oblate spheroid. On further investigation it became apparent that these incorrect methods were being used in programming a number of calculator/computers and ...
