Excel - Calculating compass bearing or angles

Asked By Whaylonsmithers on 19-May-12 09:31 PM
Hi All,

Can anyone help me with to how to calculate the compass bearing between
grid references on a map, or direct me where to look?

I do not remember trig from high school and my excel skills are very low
compared to most people on this forum.  So far all I have managed is to
manually plot and measure the bearings, or input the data into my GPS
(which is pretty tedious) so it does the hard work.

Thanks for any help you can provide.  MICHAEL SMITH.

Google "excel compass bearing", "excel compass heading" etc without quotes,
and evaluate the many hits that you find.
