bearing.distance

Bearing and Distance

Calculates a new point [X,Y] based on defined bearing and distance

bearing.distance(x, y, distance, azimuth, EastOfNorth = TRUE)

`x`	x coordinate
`y`	y coordinate
`distance`	Distance to new point (in same units as x,y)
`azimuth`	Azimuth to new point
`EastOfNorth`	Specified surveying convention

a new point representing location of baring and distance

East of north is a surveying convention and defaults to true.
