Bearing / Azimuth Converter

Documentation Status

Simple application to convert between bearings and azimuth. This application came about when I found my simple CAD program did not accept bearings as input. So, the best choice was to build a little converter so that values could be copied to the clipboard and pasted into the CAD program.

Features

  • Enter a bearing in the form N 45° 30’ 00” E and have it converted to an azimuth (angle from north).
  • Enter the azimuth angle and have the bearing automatically calculated.
  • Copy the results to the clipboard
  • Draw a sample angle on screen.
  • User interface created with PySimpleGui
