## bearing

Takes two [points][1] and finds the geographic bearing between them,
i.e. the angle measured in degrees from the north line (0 degrees)

### Parameters

*   `start` **[Coord][2]** starting Point
*   `end` **[Coord][2]** ending Point
*   `options` **[Object][3]** Optional parameters (optional, default `{}`)

    *   `options.final` **[boolean][4]** calculates the final bearing if true (optional, default `false`)

### Examples

```javascript
var point1 = turf.point([-75.343, 39.984]);
var point2 = turf.point([-75.534, 39.123]);

var bearing = turf.bearing(point1, point2);

//addToMap
var addToMap = [point1, point2]
point1.properties['marker-color'] = '#f00'
point2.properties['marker-color'] = '#0f0'
point1.properties.bearing = bearing
```

Returns **[number][5]** bearing in decimal degrees, between -180 and 180 degrees (positive clockwise)
