Find Terminal Coordinates, Given a Bearing and a Distance (FCC) USA

Find Terminal Coordinates Given a Bearing and a Distance This program will calculate the end coordinates, in degrees, minutes and seconds, given an initial set of coordinates, a bearing or azimuth (referenced to True North or 0 degrees), and a distance. The program uses the Great Circle method of calculating distances between two points. The shortest distance between two points on the surface of a sphere is an arc , not a straight line. http://www.fcc.gov/mb/audio/bickel/sprong.html
