Wow that's a nice bit of work!
I got the same results as you, but since Colorado Springs is east and a bit south of Paradise and since east is 90 degrees, I was expecting something like maybe 107 degrees not 1.37. Your answer seems to be in the form of -180 ... +180 and I can't seem to get the results normalized to the range of 0 .. 360 where 0 and 360 are north.
If I take -180 and +180 to be north than I guess 1.37 is roughly south, but Colorado Springs is East not south so I am confused.
I guess what I do not understand is how to arrive at a range of 00 ... 360 as described above.
Been there, done that, forgot why!

Hi Garry,
no no, the results use zero for East, 90 for North, etc, same as regular two-dimensional geometry.
Check with the AntwerpEast etc. cities I included for testing.
If you want North=0, you should subtract 90 degrees from the end result (then west=90, ...).
If you want North=0 and East=90, you need to invert the sign.
If you want 0...360 rather than -180...180, you should do bearing=(bearing+360)%360 as you have done earlier yourself.

Thanks much!
I tried the third option on this result already and the problem I am having is that % will not work with floats, doubles but only with integers I get a compile error when I try it.
x % y will not compile unless the types for x and y are integer only.
So I tried multiplication to get the number rounded up to an integer, and then multiply the 360 by the same factor and then do that math and I am trying to work with that.
I suspect I may have to invert the signs first and then do the third step or I might not get the expected results I need....
0 .. 360 where 0 and 360 are north and 90 is East, and West is 270.

Sorry, my mistake.
For 0=North, 90=East, 180=South, 270=West, this is what I would add after bearing=180.0*bearing/Math.PI;:
bearing=90.0-bearing;
if (bearing<0.0) bearing+=360.0;

Oh this is looking promising here. I got the correct bearings out of this when I asked about paradise to san diego and from paradise to colorado springs ... this is looking good!!
I'll do more testing and let you know but it's looking good so far!

Another idea to get North=0, East=90 is even simpler: just swap the formulae for x and y!
You still need the negative-test if you want results in [0, 360) only.

Hmm Interesting, so just swap the arguments.
Well, I might try it later, I am still afraid of this monster, and am inclined to think that if it's working don't be too fast to try to fix it right after I have gone past the 12th round and my entire being is still reeling from it all.
If your solution works, you might consider posting this as an example on Code Project, in C# on how to find this ....
After searching for three weeks for a complete solution, I can tell you that there are dozens of others who like me could not find a solution ... Yours is the only complete solution with code that addresses the question asked. I found dozens of replies to folks who asked my question, but got the answer in the form of bearings where east was zero ... Something that should have been mentioned or they did not finish answering the question or left functions out of the code.

Gee, all I did was take the formula you were using, and write a C# test app, making sure to include the greater Antwerp region to make sure the results made sense, and they did to me.
I had to look on the map to find and see relative position of Paradise and San-Diego, and I accepted the outcome. But then for me zero degrees has always pointed to the right, as with a protractor[^] (another word I learned todsy).
If you want to see an article on the subject, I suggest we work together; maybe you could do text and images, I could take care of coding and downloads (I could proofread too, finding most typo's, but I trust you would be better as far as vocabulary, grammar and style go).

Well, yeah I do have a different meaning to fix something.
I would be willing to do the wording, and put in the final code.
All articles I saw about converting to the range I needed said to use a form of a modulus operator, but NONE of them took into account that the modulus operator required integer operators.
Reminds me of years ago, I wanted to write a screen saver but all the code out there fell on it's face, and then I wanted to write one that worked on multiple monitors. The existing examples were not compilable or incomplete.
So I wrote one in C# under Visual Studio that worked with 2003, or 2005 with no mods. Folks loved it, as far as I know it's the best out there. You can replace my functions with your own graphics functions and plug it right in and go.
I spent weeks trying to iron out a problem where the screen saver would just mysteriously lock up. I finally got it fixed and then a windows update caused it to come back again.
I was not willing to go revisit the thing and go through weeks of hell, where the thing might crash immediately or crash in 2 days of constant running.
If you are curious it should be among my articles. I put it on Code Project a few years ago.

Hi Garry,
I did send you an email message several days ago trying to get in touch with you directly, but since the CP email is not working reliably again, I now suggest you create a geodesic problem solvers group, which I could join, so we can collaborate on the article.
Groups are a new feature on CP, I don't know exactly how it works, but we'll see...

I am trying to to do a similar thing in C# (don't worry I am also a C++ developer).
Did you managed to work this out.
I actually need to plot a point on a line given the start point and distance. I also happen to know the end point.
Therefore I should be able to calculate the bearing between to points, then use this bearing, distance and start point to work out the lat long.
However I am stuck working out the bearing!
Can you help?

Please can some one help me how to split a single mp3 file into 2 or 3 mp3 files??
Thanx

Simply speeking, search BinaryReader and BinaryWriter in MSDN, you will find what you want.
I Love KongFu~

You decompress the mp3 data into an array of samples, split the samples, and compress each as new mp3 files.
Despite everything, the person most likely to be fooling you next is yourself.

Hi all, I'm new to socket programming and need help with an error.
I'm coding a project that will send Hex bytes to a comm port on a network. So far I can connect and send the correct values to the comm port no problem but when I hit the disconnect Button I get a "Program has encountered a problem and needs to close" message.

So, you want to write a rather complicated piece of software, having no experience in .NET?? And, you want to learn programming, having someone walk you through everything over Yahoo Messenger?? Is that correct??

how can i make it

Start by putting buttons on your form.
Give the buttons proper IDs so they can be identified easily in code.
Double click each button will generate a code stub for handling the button event.
By the way, is this a Web application or a Windows application?

Neither could I, I think he wants to move around in a table, but I have no bloody idea.

Basically yes. From: BindingManagerBase.Position Property [^]:
Use the Position property to iterate through the underlying list maintained by the BindingManagerBase. To go to the first item, set the Position to 0. To go to the end of the list, set the Position to the value of the Count property minus 1.
The PositionChanged event occurs when the Position property value changes
