Public Methods

Method	Description
calculateBearing ( Coordinate $point1, Coordinate $point2 ) : float	This method calculates the initial bearing between the two points.
calculateDestination ( Coordinate $point, float $bearing, float $distance ) : Coordinate	Calculates a destination point for the given point, bearing angle, and distance.
calculateDestinationFinalBearing ( Coordinate $point, float $bearing, float $distance ) : float	Calculates the final bearing angle for a destination point.
calculateFinalBearing ( Coordinate $point1, Coordinate $point2 ) : float	Calculates the final bearing between the two points.

Method	Description
directVincenty ( Coordinate $point, $bearing, $distance )
inverseVincenty ( Coordinate $point1, Coordinate $point2 )

This method calculates the initial bearing between the two points.

public calculateBearing ( Coordinate $point1, Coordinate $point2 ) : float
$point1	Location\Coordinate
$point2	Location\Coordinate
return	float	Bearing Angle

Calculates a destination point for the given point, bearing angle, and distance.

public calculateDestination ( Coordinate $point, float $bearing, float $distance ) : Coordinate
$point	Location\Coordinate
$bearing	float	the bearing angle between 0 and 360 degrees
$distance	float	the distance to the destination point in meters
return	Location\Coordinate

The method expects a starting point point, the bearing angle, and the distance to destination.

public calculateDestinationFinalBearing ( Coordinate $point, float $bearing, float $distance ) : float
$point	Location\Coordinate
$bearing	float
$distance	float
return	float

Calculates the final bearing between the two points.

public calculateFinalBearing ( Coordinate $point1, Coordinate $point2 ) : float
$point1	Location\Coordinate
$point2	Location\Coordinate
return	float
