Coordinate conversion

Anyone know how to convert COGO into bearings?
ex. 13803292.0810, 1979568.8290 to N 29º 36' 42", W98º 29' 33.1"

 

Hi M!,
Some pointers:
1) All Bearings starts with N or S and ends with W or E.
2) You can not get a bearing from a single point.
3) Bearing can be computed by Tangent Bearing =( E1-E2)/(N1-N2)

Good Luck

 

yea.. u need 2 points.. the invers between them can give you a bearing

 

Perhaps I did not make my original post clear.
I import data from GPS into AutoCAD Civil 3-D.
A single point is listed as 13803292.0810, 1979568.8290.
My customer wants to know the Lat & Lon of that point.
Seems like there would be a button for that somewhere....

Where or How did you get the result (N 29º 36' 42", W98º 29' 33.1")?
That's all I need to know...

Seems to me that your GPS equipment should be able to provide the latitude
& longitude of the point.

But, go can to this page for info on converting UTM to Latitude &
Longitude:
