    Too much bother to do it via maths but I have the transmitters stored in a digital map and from your spot it's 199 degrees true to Kippure - 36.1 kms.

    Many thanks,
    I did find this
    http://googlecompass.com
    but it seems to be designed for windows, I have a mac and its a bit wobbly.
