in reply to Determine lat/lon of geo location at given distance from other location

Good question! There doesn't seem to be a module to do that. What you can do however, is to find the distance between (50.754444, 6.020833) and (50.754444, 7.020833), get the length of a degree, and use $distance/$degree_length to know how many degrees a given distance is.

Edit: my bad, there actually is a module that does that :)

    longitude distance/degree changes with latitude so your suggestion is only correct moving strictly east or west and introduces errors that are a function of the north or south component of the displacement.
