Calculate new location from lat/lon + bearing + distance

Is there anyway to calculate a new lat/lon point when you have an old lat/lon point + the bearing angle in which direction the new point must come + the distance between the old point to the new point?

thx

Nothing built-in but you could write code to do it. Here is a link that might help.
