lawn_destination: Calculate destination point

In lawn: Client for 'Turfjs' for 'Geospatial' Analysis

Description

Takes a data-Point and calculates the location of a destination point given a distance in degrees, radians, miles, or kilometers; and bearing in degrees. Uses the Haversine formula to account for global curvature.

Usage

lawn_destination(start, distance, bearing, units, lint = FALSE)

Arguments

start	Starting point, a data-Feature<data-Point>
distance	Distance from the starting point.
bearing	Ranging from -180 to 180.
units	Miles, kilometers, degrees, or radians.
lint	(logical) Lint or not. Uses geojsonhint. Takes up increasing time as the object to get linted increases in size, so probably use by default for small objects, but not for large if you know they are good geojson objects. Default: FALSE

Value

the calculated destination, a data-Feature<data-Point>
