Find the bearing between two coordinates (initial, final and rhumb line) and the midpoint, or the point reached from a start, bearing and distance.

Bearings are from true north, clockwise. A compass shows magnetic north, which differs by the local magnetic declination (look it up for your area and date — it changes over time).
Initial bearing
148.61° SSE
Final bearing on arrival 150.47° SSE — on a great circle the heading changes along the way.
Rhumb line bearing
149.63°
Constant heading · 340.55 km
Great-circle distance
340.895 km
Back bearing
328.61°
Midpoint
50.185825, 1.118412

Start and end — or a start, a bearing and a distance.
Initial and final bearing, rhumb line, back bearing and midpoint — or the destination point.
The shortest path on a sphere (a great circle) changes heading as you go, except along the equator or a meridian.
A path with a constant compass heading. It's easier to steer but longer than the great circle, except for north–south routes.
These bearings are from true north. Add or subtract your local magnetic declination for a compass bearing.
Trips
Work out what a drive costs in fuel from distance, fuel economy (L/100 km, mpg or km/L) and price — round trips, repeat trips and splitting between passengers included.
Trips
Find your car's real fuel consumption from odometer readings and fill-ups — one tank or a log of fill-ups — in L/100 km, mpg and km/L, plus cost per km or mile.
Trips
Calculate what a stay costs under hourly, first-hour, per-30-minute or flat daily tariffs with a daily cap and grace period — and compare options.
Maps
Convert coordinates between decimal degrees, degrees-minutes-seconds, decimal minutes and UTM — paste any format, or use your location.
Maps
Measure the straight-line distance between two or more GPS coordinates on the WGS84 ellipsoid, in km, miles and nautical miles.

Convert between map and real distances at any scale, work out a map's scale from two distances, and find the scale of a web map zoom level.
