This is a GRADUATE question ???? The solution to this problem may be found in all standard surveying books, as it is a fundamental problem in geodesy. It is actually dead easy to do it with very simple spherical geometry too. Here is a link to a wonderfully clear "text book" analysis. http://forum.swarthmore.edu/dr.math/problems/longandlat.html Can't these guys even use Google these days ? Regards Steve
