===Steps 2-3, in detail=== Alright, so now you have some values. Time to plug that shit into the equations. For the purposes of this article, the GPS that we teleported ended up at 184, 137. The distance the GPS traveled is 40.01249804748511...''ish'', or the square root of 1,601. The bearing, elevation, and power were 0, 45, and 20, respectively. First thing we're going to do is plug the numbers we have into the DestinationX equation to determine the bearing offset. [[File:Telescience plugged distanceX equation.png]] Subtract 185 from both sides [[File:Telescience plugged distanceX equation step 1.png]] Divide both sides by 40.01249804748511 [[File:Telescience plugged distanceX equation step 2.png]] Take the arcsin of 0.02499479361892 [[File:Telescience plugged distanceX equation step 3.png]] By default, my calculator calculates stuff in radians. To convert to degrees, multiply by 180/pi [[File:Telescience plugged distanceX equation solved.png]] And we end up with a value of 1.432245340659903. Multiply that number by -1, and you have your bearing offset. It's either -1 or -2!
