bearing
number

Outputs the rhumb line (constant) bearing from geo_point_from to geo_point_to in degrees, normalized to 0-360. Missing or non-numeric lat/lon fields count as 0 instead of failing. Example: from {lat:0,lon:0} to {lat:1,lon:0} -> 0 (due north).

A typical wiring for get bearing between points: from city feeds the geo_point_from pin; from city feeds the geo_point_to pin; the bearing out pin feeds cast to value.
