Projection
- Lat/Lon or UTM. With the Lat/Lon projection the calculation are based on the standard
calculations using the latitude, longitude and bearing. With UTM projection the latitude and
longitude are converted to x,y coordinates using a Transverse Mercator projection, the bearing and
distance are applied to these x,y coordinates and the new position calculated. The UTM projection
method more closely approximates drawing lines on a map which uses a Transverse Mercator
Bearing (Degrees)
- The direction to project from the current position. Select either True or
Magnetic reference. The reference does not apply to UTM projection as the bearing is always
referenced to the grid.
