Before you rely on this: First-pass guide only. Verify safety-critical or regulated work against the relevant standards, your project requirements and a qualified professional.
How to use this calculator
- Enter the easting/northing of both points.
- Press Calculate.
- Read the distance and bearing (join).
How it works
Inverse computation (join): distance = √(ΔE² + ΔN²); bearing = atan2(ΔE, ΔN), clockwise from north.
Worked example
85 m E, 85 m N apart. Distance 120.2 m, bearing 45°.
Frequently asked questions
What is a 'join'?
