at a first approach, I think you must always operate coordinates as latitude/longitude and then apply conversion to UTM

When you say Northing &amp;&nbsp;Easting, do you mean Lat/Lon or in some kind of projection?<br />
<br />
The following page is one I've gotten a lot of information from. To project a point a given distance &amp;&nbsp;bearing from a given coordinate, you could use the equations to determine destination using Rhumb lines.

Hi sorry for such a late response to your posts,<br />
<br />
The data is on OSGB70 projection, it would be sitting within a variety of GIS applications. Ideally i would like to be able to export it to a xls, csv or &nbsp;dxf then specify a bearing and a distance to update specific points.<br />
<br />
Many Thanks

Hi,<br />
Could anyone suggest a formula / method for updating eastings and northings using a distance and a bearing?

update easting and northing using distance and bearing

The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a space-based global navigation satellite system (GNSS) that provides reliable location and time information in all weather and at all times and anywhere on or near the Earth when and where there is an unobstructed line of sight to four or more GPS satellites. A geographic information system (GIS) or geospatial information system is any system that captures, stores, analyzes, manages, and presents data that are linked to location(s). In the simplest terms, GIS is the merging of cartography, statistical analysis, and database technology.
