How to calculate lat / long coordinates from DLS?
I used the rhumb line calculator here ( http://www.movable-type.co.uk/scripts/latlong.html) to calculate .25 miles west (bearing 270), then .25 miles north (bearing 0) to get the the top left point of the polygon square. I get the following top left corner coordinate: 49.0036182946, -102.0055151967
Is it possible to accurately calculate DLS subdivision corners?
This means that it is not possible to accurately calculate true DLS subdivision corners or centroids relying solely on theoretical coordinates and geographic distance calculations, even if you correctly take into account road allowances, start at baselines, use an ellipsoidal earth model, etc.
