About This Tool

GPS Viewer accepts coordinate inputs and computes geodesic distances and bearings between points without fetching map data. It supports multiple legs and different unit systems to facilitate planning and verification in field conditions. The tool operates on standard geodetic formulas, ensuring reproducible results across devices. Users benefit from a fast, map-free means to assess proximity, route viability, and directional metrics for logistics, research, and outdoor activities. Core differentiators include offline-capable arithmetic, clear unit handling, and extensible outputs suitable for integration into reports or GIS workflows.
In practice, you supply one or more coordinate pairs, select a distance method (great-circle or rhumb line), and receive leg-by-leg metrics such as distance, initial and final bearings, and optional midpoints. This is especially useful when you lack reliable map access or want to validate route feasibility using purely geometric calculations.

How to Use

Provide inputs: enter latitude/longitude pairs for two or more points with decimal degrees or DMS; Choose method: haversine for great-circle or rhumb for constant bearing; Run calculation: compute leg metrics and overall route; Review outputs: view distances, bearings, and optional midpoints; Export results: download JSON/CSV for reporting.

Frequently Asked Questions

Find Quick Answers

What inputs are required?
At minimum, two points specified by latitude and longitude in decimal degrees. Latitudes must be between -90 and 90, longitudes between -180 and 180. Default datum is WGS84. Users can add more points for multi-leg calculations and select a preferred unit system.
What outputs are provided?
The tool returns leg-by-leg distances in the chosen unit, initial and final bearings for each leg, and optional midpoints. It may also provide a route summary and a simple bounding box. Distances are formatted with two decimals by default.
Which formulas are used?
Great-circle distance uses the haversine formula by default; rhumb-line distance is available as an alternative. Bearings are computed from spherical trigonometry, with conversions between degrees and radians for accuracy and consistency.
Is online connectivity required?
No. The calculations are purely mathematical on the provided coordinates and do not fetch maps or external data. It works offline or in environments with restricted connectivity.
