Comment (by neteler):

 Replying to [comment:8 cmbarton]:
 > Not using a graphical user interface means typing controlling a module
 via typed commands (i.e. on the command line). Being able to enter screen
 x and y coordinates and return a bearing and distance could be useful; it
 might make GUI programming easier in fact. Using the command line is very
 useful for a variety of GIS functions of course and essential for
 scripting.

 Perhaps m.cogo can be used here (cmd line and GUI backend)?
