[GRASSLIST:8934] bearings with m.cogo

[Robert Nuske]

Hi Listers,

I tried to get bearings (as I understood angle and distance) between two 
coordinates. But I only get the angle and no distance.

GRASS 6.1.cvs (eifel):~ > echo "2525574.0 5603785.9" | m.cogo -r \ 
coord=2525524.6,5603683.0

N 25:38:40.654 E nan

Measuring the distance with d.measure and doing the reverse case with m.cogo 
(bearing to coords) works fine for me. I've got no idea what I am doing 
wrong. 

BTW is there a reason why the bearing is given with two hemispheres and not in 
compass directions. I mean for example 45° for NE and 225° for SW. That would 
be one calculation less doing compass work in the field.

Thanks, 
Robert
