The car would drive up next to an animal and take a measurement of how far the animal was, at a 90º angle from the car. I have the waypoint and GPS location of where the car was when the animal was measured, and the distance to the car the animal was viewed at.</SPAN></P><P><SPAN>I can’t find a way to convert this information into pinpointing where the animals were on the map! Does anyone have any ideas?</SPAN></P><P><SPAN>Thank you all so much for your help!</SPAN></P></BODY></HTML> Fri, 05 May 2017 17:13:11 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-mapping-and-charting-questions/pin-pointing-animals-on-a-map-based-on-distance/m-p/567955#M1959 DanielaDuffett 2017-05-05T17:13:11Z Re: Pin-pointing animals on a map based on distance and direction from a car https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-mapping-and-charting-questions/pin-pointing-animals-on-a-map-based-on-distance/m-p/567956#M1960 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Daniela - this <A _jive_internal="true" href="https://community.esri.com/thread/193323-how-to-project-decimal-degrees-coordinates-using-distance-and-bearing">thread</A> might be a good start for you.</P></BODY></HTML> Fri, 05 May 2017 17:32:22 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-mapping-and-charting-questions/pin-pointing-animals-on-a-map-based-on-distance/m-p/567956#M1960 Robert_LeClair 2017-05-05T17:32:22Z Re: Pin-pointing animals on a map based on distance and direction from a car https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-mapping-and-charting-questions/pin-pointing-animals-on-a-map-based-on-distance/m-p/567957#M1961 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Thank you, I'll look into it!</P></BODY></HTML> Tue, 09 May 2017 16:34:35 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-mapping-and-charting-questions/pin-pointing-animals-on-a-map-based-on-distance/m-p/567957#M1961 DanielaDuffett 2017-05-09T16:34:35Z
