Compute a destination location moving 10000 kilometers from another location:

Compute a list of intermediate destinations:

A random path of 100 geodesic steps of 5000 kilometers with random bearings:

Compute distance and direction along a rhumb line from Tokyo to Paris:

Compute distance and direction along a geodesic:

Compare the rhumb line (in red) with the geodesic (in blue) in a world map:

A relative displacement along a geodesic of initial bearing 40 degrees:

A relative displacement along a rhumb line:

A relative displacement along a great ellipse:

Distance can be given as a number in meters:

Or as a Quantity length with any unit:

Results are automatically converted into meters:

Bearing can be given as a number in degrees:

Or as a Quantity angle with any unit:

Results are automatically converted into degrees:

Bearing can also be specified as a DMS string:

Or using a named compass point:

Traditional names for the principal eight winds are also possible:

A GeoDisplacement specification of multiple relative displacements along the same geodesic:

The same specification using Quantity distances:

A GeoDisplacement specification of multiple destinations on a geo circle around a location:

The same specification using Quantity angles:

A grid of destinations:

Compute the geodesic needed to go from one location to another location:

Compute the great ellipse between the same two locations:

Compute the rhumb line between the same two locations:

Use GeoPosition specifications for the locations, or {lat,lon} pairs:

Use other types of geodetic positions:

The magnetic field of the Earth changes with time, in particular, the position of the North magnetic pole:

As of February 2019, the North magnetic pole is moving toward the west, about 118 meters per day:

GeoDisplacement is the inverse of GeoDestination:

The computation performed by GeoDisplacement combines GeoDistance and GeoDirection:

Take the geo displacement between two points:

The geo displacement between the antipodal points has the same distance but complementary bearing:

When any of the locations in GeoDisplacement[loc₁,loc₂] are extended entities, the computation is performed using some average position:
