PostGIS has a function called ST_Project (http://postgis.net/docs/ST_Project.html) which should be able to address your needs.</span></div><div dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1442362707971_5820"><span><br></span></div><div dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1442362707971_5821"><span>Good luck,</span></div><div dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1442362707971_5822"><span>-Tony</span></div><div dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1442362707971_5827"><span> </span></div> <br><div class="qtdSeparateBR"><br><br></div><div class="yahoo_quoted" style="display: block;"> <div style="font-family: lucida console, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"> <div style="font-family: HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"> <div dir="ltr"> <font size="2" face="Arial"> On Tuesday, September 15, 2015 7:30 PM, Schroeder Natalia <natalias@mendoza-conicet.gob.ar> wrote:<br> </font> </div> <br><br> <div class="y_msg_container"><div id="yiv8608140837">

Hello,<br>
My question is the following.<br>
I need to change the location of several points on a map. I mean,
for each point from a list, I have the distance from the initial
position towards a new final position (a line) and the angle to the
North (Azimuth) of that line. What I want is to know the X and Y
coordinates of the new final position, in order to put that point
into the new position. And I have too many points (over 1000) to do
it manually.<br>
It this clear?<br>
This is the scheme (in Spanish, sorry):<br>
<br>

<br>
As I understand, the Azimuth and Distance tool 'draws' points based
on azimuths and distances, but guided by the immediately preceding
point as reference. And it does not help me, because I need taking
the points independently, not in relation to the previous one,
because my points are independent observations. Is it correct or am
I misunderstanding the tool?<br>
Any idea to solve this problem?<br>
Thanks in advance<br>
<br>
Natalia<br>
