Hi all,

I am required to calculate the longitude/latitude of a location B given a 

location A (for which i know the Long and Lat values) and distance D, 

which could be in Kms or Miles. I am completely novice in this and do know 

nothing about the bearing ratio or earth radius which I have seen 

poeple using in their calculation. Can anyone tell me how to I find out 

the new Long/Lat values knowing only this data. Pls guide me or direct 

me to a site which does this. egerly awaiting the reply.
