how to calculate azimuth from coordinates
1 Calculate end point (latitude/longitude) given a starting point, distance, and azimuth. 2  Calculate the azimuth and elevation angle to a geostationary satellite (where to point a satellite dish). 3  Calculate the intersection of two paths given starting and ending coordinates for each path.iven {lat1, lon1, distance, azimuth} calculate {lat2, lon2}. First, work backwards (relative to Problem 1A) and find b from the distance by dividing by the Earth radius. b = distance / (Earth Radius) making sure distance and (Earth Radius) are the same units so that we end up with b in radians.
