I have a set of GPS coordinates in decimal notation, and I'm looking for a way to find the coordinates in a circle with variable radius around each location. Here is an example of what I need. It is a circle with 1km radius around the coordinate 47,11 . What I need is the algorithm for finding the coordinates of the circle , so I can use it in my kml file using a polygon. Ideally for python. Use the formula for "Destination point given distance and bearing from start point" here: http://www.movable-type.co.uk/scripts/latlong.html with your centre point as start point, your radius as distance,
