@spatial/destination

destination

Takes a Point and calculates the location of a destination point given a distance in degrees, radians, miles, or kilometers; and bearing in degrees. This uses the Haversine formula to account for global curvature.

Parameters

origin Coord starting point
distance number distance from the origin point
bearing number ranging from -180 to 180
options Object Optional parameters (optional, default {})
- options.units string miles, kilometers, degrees, or radians (optional, default 'kilometers')
- options.properties Object Translate properties to Point (optional, default {})

Examples

var point = turf.point([-75.343, 39.984]);
var distance = 50;
var bearing = 90;
var options = {units: 'miles'};
 
var destination = turf.destination(point, distance, bearing, options);
 
//addToMap
var addToMap = [point, destination]
destination.properties['marker-color'] = '#f00';
point.properties['marker-color'] = '#0f0';

Returns Feature<Point> destination point
