Good afternoon,
I am trying to calculate bearing between two UTM coordinates and would appreciate some help. I seem to be going wrong somewhere.
Position 1
Easting 59642 Northing 18543
Position 2
Easting 59713 Northing 19463
Formula I'm trying
=ABS(ATAN((Easting1-Easting2)/(Northing1-Northing2))*180/PI())
Thanks
Maybe
PHP Code:Easting 1 Northing 1 Easting 2 Northing 2

To calculate the bearing (or azimuth) between two UTM coordinates, you can use trigonometric functions to determine the angle between them. The formula you provided is close, but it needs some adjustments.

First, please note you are responding to a thread that is a year old. A solution has been provided, but the OP has not returned to provide feedback, and has not posted at all on the forum since this thread was started, so we can safely assume they've lost interest.
Second, comments on solutions are welcome, but it is not helpful to say that a formula needs some adjustments without telling us what those adjustments are, or even why the results are incorrect.
ok, i got it, thanks for the suggestion
