Direction towards waypoint

I'm having trouble calculating the angle towards a waypoint..

I can get my location coordinates (Lat1, Long1), and the waypoint coordinates (Lat2, Long2).

I can also use the orientation sensor to point a sprite north..

But how in the world will I make it point towards my waypoint?

you can calculate the bearing according to that formula Movable Type Scripts

then just use the following snippet

Thanx Taifun, for the snippet..

I actually found that page you suggest, and startet to make it into code - but the x-part of the atan2-argument (the last), I don't know how to write with blocks..

Bearing =

atan2(

sin(long2-long1)*cos(lat2),cos(lat1)*sin(lat2) − sin(lat1)*cos(lat2)*cos(long2-long1))

This part eludes me...
cos(lat₁)*sin(lat₂) − sin(lat₁)*cos(lat₂)*cos(long2-long1)

- and can I use the coordinates as provided by app-inventor, or do they have to be converted somehow?

--

all the blocks you need are there, see the math blocks http://appinventor.mit.edu/explore/ai2/support/blocks/math.html
and you can use the coordinates as provided by AI

I guess it just took a little patience...

This is what I ended up with, it seems to work - I hope someone else can benefit, from Taifun's help and my findings..

Do you mind sharing a screenshot of the blocks editor page ... I am trying to put together an app that points towards a particular building.

Your seem similar and your help will be appreciated. Trying to put this together and struggling to make sense at the moment ...

I saw this in the thread ... but where does this slot in?

just replace intBearing by Direction from the Engberg example

--

is this still relavant to AI2? i dont seem to be able to find the blocks. sorry if its obvious. 

--

you will have to manually translate Engberg's solution form App Inventor Classic to App Inventor 2

it there are still questions, please follow up in the other forum https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/mitappinventortest
