GPS LOcation

Is it possible to find out the GPS coordinates of the Destination if I provide the coordinates of the Origin and the distance and direction on the road? Looks like it is not possible on Google map. Is it possible here?

There probably is no ready made thing like that. Mostly because when distance starts to be something meaningful then there is rarely a single destination point.

If you can write some code, then it is possible to find the most suitable coordinate that matches your desired direction from the output of some isodistance application/library.
