Angles on Google Maps

[dr. Turtev]

Hello everyone,
I am new here so please excuse me if I do something wrong.
I need some help of you folks. I have C# desktop app that uses Google Maps. I have two points (with GPS coordinates) and a line between them. What I can't figure how to do is how can I draw line (beam) that starts from one of these points and is at some angle from the first line. The problem is that I don't have any points for the second line - only the starting point. I don't care how long will be the second line - it can be just a beam.

Thanks and best regards!

Try computeOffset() in the Geometry Library:

+ Given a particular heading, an origin location, and the distance to
travel (in meters), you can calculate the
+ destination coordinates using computeOffset().

I made several functions to do the job based on the formulas here:

... and everything is working perfectly :)

Best regards!
