About the Bearing & Direction Calculator
A free tool for finding compass bearing and distance between two coordinates.
What it is
This calculator finds the initial compass bearing and great-circle distance between two latitude/longitude points, using spherical trigonometry and the haversine formula so both account for the Earth's curvature.
Features
Bearing and direction
Precise angle plus a 16-point compass label.
Distance in km and mi
Great-circle distance in both units at once.
Visual compass
See the bearing plotted as an arrow on a compass rose.
