I am attempting to research a method to calculate the Latitude, Longitude, and Height of a point on the planet earth given Range, Azimuth, and Elevation of a point relative to another point where the Lat, Long, and Altitude is known.

I am going to be using a geophysical library that allows me to provide it a geocentric value and it will return a Latitude and Longitude and the Geodetic Datum.

Can a valid WGS-84 datum (X,Y,Z) point be converted to a WGS-84 Latitude and Longitude?

Any geodetic datum is suitable for expressing coordinates in both geocentric and geodetic coordinate systems, so you should be fine using WGS 84.

    This answer was extremely helpful and was the verification I required to come up with an adequate solution in 2011.
