    Lets say I have two sets of decimal degrees, is there a formula I can use to calculate the azimuth of point A looking towards point B?

    Thanks

    Are you looking to calculate a "great circle" route? If so, the Great Circle Mapper site has a FAQ with the formulas it uses, here.

    (The site can do it for you, if you select "distance" at the top. It accepts airport codes as well as decimal coordinates, and displays an initial heading.)

    You are the type of what the age is searching for, and what it is afraid it has found. I am so glad that you have never done anything, never carved a statue, or painted a picture, or produced anything outside of yourself! Life has been your art. You have set yourself to music. Your days are your sonnets.
