Chapter 4

Coordinate

North /south coordinate = know coordinate + value of latitude

East /west coordinate = know coordinate + value of departure

COORDINATE VALUE

N 100 E 200 Coordinate N = + 100

Coordinate E = + 200
S 200 W 200 Coordinate S = - 200
Coordinate W = - 200
N 100 W 300 Coordinate N = + 100
Coordinate W = - 300
S 250 E 250 Coordinate S = - 250
Coordinate E = + 250

Basic coordinate calculation

1. Check bearing , bearing must given from know coordinate to un know coordinate
2. After that, calculate latitude and departure
3. Finaly, calculate all the coordinate

DIAGRAM CALCULATION
1. Calculate latit and depart for line 1 to 2

2. Latit = 90.972 cos 55⁰ 09’03”

= 51.983

3. depart = 90.972 sin 55⁰ 09’03”

= 74.657

4. Coordinate N = 200.230 + 51.983 =

252.213

5. Coordinate E = 320.210 + 74.657 =

394.867

So coordinate station 2 = N 252.213 E 394.867

NFZ 1
 1. Bearing 1 to 2 = 311⁰ 13’ 55” - 180⁰
= 131⁰ 13’ 55”

2. Latit = 55.723 cos 131⁰ 13’ 55”

= -36.728

3. Depart = 55.723 sin 131⁰ 13’ 55”

= 41.906

4. Coordinate N = 100 + (-36.728)

= 63.272

5. Coordinate W = - 250 + 41.906

= -208.094

Coordinate station 2 = N 63.272 W 208.094

1. Bearing 2 to 1 = 129⁰ 38’ 59” + 180⁰

= 309⁰ 38’ 59

2. Latit = 88.096 cos 129⁰ 38’ 59”

= -56.213

3. Depart = 88.096 sin 129⁰ 38’ 59”

= 67.830

4. Coordinate S = -100 + (-56.213)

= -156.213

5. Coordinate E = - 200 + 67.830

= 267.830

Coordinate station 2 = S 156.213 E 267.830

1. Bearing 2 to 1 = 53⁰ 12’ 20” + 180⁰

= 233⁰ 12’ 20”

2. Latit = 82.122 cos 233⁰ 12’ 20”

= -49.187

3. Depart = 82.122 cos 233⁰ 12’ 20”

= - 65.762

4. Coordinate S = - 150 + (-49.187)

= - 199.187

5. Coordinate E = 200 + (- 65.762)

= -134.238

Coordinate station 2 = S 199.187 E 134.238

Example 1

Calculate coordinate for all station. Given coordinate for station 1 is N 200 E 350.

Step by step

1. Check all bearing, bearing should be read from known station.

So bearing for line 3 to 4 is 229⁰ 18’ 10” - 180⁰ = 49⁰ 18’ 10”
2. Calculate latitude and departure for all line
3. Calculate coordinate using latitude, departure and given coordinate.
