Hi, This function calculate the bearing between a vehicle's current position and the endpoint it has to go (hence it's name). It does exacly what you ask. The (lat1 + lat2) / 2 is to get the middlepoint of it to correct longitude if we ar not on equator. Code: u_16 get_bearing(double lat1, double lon1, double lat2, double lon2)
{
double lat = lat2 - lat1;
double lon = (lon2 - lon1) * cos(deg2rad((lat1 + lat2) / 2));
double dist = hypot(lat, lon);
double bear = rad2deg(acos(lat / dist));
if (lon < 0) // Western direction
bear = 360 - bear;
return bear;
}
