distance - Calculating Latitude/Longitude X miles from point?

I am wanting to find a latitude and longitude point given a bearing, a distance, and a starting latitude and longitude.

This appears to be the opposite of this question (Distance between lat/long points).

I have already looked into the haversine formula and think it's approximation of the world is probably close enough.

I am assuming that I need to solve the haversine formula for my unknown lat/long, is this correct? Are there any good websites that talk about this sort of thing? It seems like it would be common, but my googling has only turned up questions similar to the one above.

What I am really looking for is just a formula for this. I'd like to give it a starting lat/lng, a bearing, and a distance (miles or kilometers) and I would like to get out of it a lat/lng pair that represent where one would have ended up had they traveled along that route.

I'd be curious how results from this formula compare with Esri's pe.dll.

(citation).

A point {lat,lon} is a distance d out on the tc radial from point 1 if:

 lat=asin(sin(lat1)*cos(d)+cos(lat1)*sin(d)*cos(tc))
 IF (cos(lat)=0)
    lon=lon1      // endpoint a pole
 ELSE
    lon=mod(lon1-asin(sin(tc)*sin(d)/cos(lat))+pi,2*pi)-pi
 ENDIF

This algorithm is limited to distances such that dlon < pi/2, i.e those that extend around less than one quarter of the circumference of the earth in longitude. A completely general, but more complicated algorithm is necessary if greater distances are allowed:

 lat =asin(sin(lat1)*cos(d)+cos(lat1)*sin(d)*cos(tc))
 dlon=atan2(sin(tc)*sin(d)*cos(lat1),cos(d)-sin(lat1)*sin(lat))
 lon=mod( lon1-dlon +pi,2*pi )-pi

Here's an html page for testing.
