This article explores how to calculate new latitude and longitude coordinates based on a given point and meter distances to construct geographic bounding boxes. For urban-scale applications (up to ±1500 meters), we ignore Earth's curvature and use simplified geospatial calculations. It explains the differences in meters per degree for latitude and longitude, derives core formulas, and provides code examples for implementation. Building on the best answer algorithm, we compare various approaches to ensure readers can apply this technique in real-world projects like GIS and location-based services.
