Is there a Field Calculator or GUI based way to move points by angle and distance in QGIS?

Question

In QGIS what is the best way of moving an existing point (or digitising a new point) when you have:

• the starting x,y (UTM) coordinate;
• the angle from compass bearing towards the unknown point, and;
• a distance to the new point?

Hopefully this could be achieved using the field calculator by adding specific formulas in a new field, the QGIS GUI or a pre existing plugin?

(Would like to do this for singular points as well as for a list of coordinates or point shapefiles)

QGIS 2.16.2 Using UTM coordinates in Australia

EDIT:
Ideally the solution would be able to be incorporated into/accessed by or calculated on a point shapefile in the QGIS graphical modeler to work with other algorithms.

(NB: the usual originating points will be coming from someone's Garmin GPS ... so my initial steps are to smooth that transition in the best way possible to convert to .shp (converting to UTM format) as well as adding the bearing and distance fields from field notes but hopefully I can also automate that in to the data capture stage.)

Here is some sample data that would be worked on

Answer 1

You can make the necessary calculations in libreoffice-calc. Add the following formula to cell F2:

=B2+E2*SIN(D2/180*PI())

and to cell G2:

=C2+E2*COS(D2/180*PI())

Move down the small black box at the lower right corner of cell F2 and G2 to extend the formulas to all rows. Save your spreadsheet as CSV and import it into QGIS. You must import it twice if you would like to have start and end point as QGIS points (as two layers).

You can create a line between start and end points if you add WKT geometry to your spreadsheet, for example to H2 (and extend it to all rows):

=CONCATENATE("LINESTRING(",TEXT(B2, "#.##")," ", TEXT(C2, "#.##"), ", ", TEXT(F2, "#.##"), " ", TEXT(G2, "#.##"), ")")

In the add delimited text dialog select Well Known Text (WKT)...
