Moving a CLLocation by x meters

Question

I have a CLLocation defined, and I\'d like to move that point x meters to the east and y meters to the south. How may I achieve that?

Answer 1

Improved swift solution to Peters answer. Only correction is the bearing should be radian while calculation has been made.

 func locationWithBearing(bearing:Double, distanceMeters:Double, origin:CLLocationCoordinate2D) -> CLLocationCoordinate2D {
    let distRadians = distanceMeters / (6372797.6)

    var rbearing = bearing * M_PI / 180.0

    let lat1 = origin.latitude * M_PI / 180
    let lon1 = origin.longitude * M_PI / 180

    let lat2 = asin(sin(lat1) * cos(distRadians) + cos(lat1) * sin(distRadians) * cos(rbearing))
    let lon2 = lon1 + atan2(sin(rbearing) * sin(distRadians) * cos(lat1), cos(distRadians) - sin(lat1) * sin(lat2))

    return CLLocationCoordinate2D(latitude: lat2 * 180 / M_PI, longitude: lon2 * 180 / M_PI)
}
