Remarks

The following example calculates the destination geographical point:

C#

GeoPoint startPoint = new GeoPoint(53.1914, 001.4347);
GeoPoint destinationPoint = GeoUtils.CalculateDestinationPoint(startPoint, 17910000, 276.0117);

VB.NET

Dim startPoint As GeoPoint = New GeoPoint(53.1914, 001.4347)
Dim destinationPoint As GeoPoint = GeoUtils.CalculateDestinationPoint(startPoint, 17910000, 276.0117)

The distance is measured along a geodesic line. The image below shows this geodesic line:
