//- The calculations below don't need to know which form is used. We can always convert it ourselves

//- Now we have two coordinates we can calculate how far apart they are

//- or use the human readable form which will use meters or km as needed

//- Now we have distance, what direction do we need to travel
double bearing = Geodetic.BearingDegrees(from, to);
//- and in radians

//- But what if we know the direction and distance to an object
