@turf/destination

@turf/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 Units Supports all valid Turf Units (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
