What does azimuth() do?

Initial great-circle bearing (azimuth) from the first point to the second, in degrees. It is a MATLAB®-compatible mapping function available in SimLab with the same calling syntax as MATLAB® — typically: az = azimuth(lat1, lon1, lat2, lon2).

Can I run azimuth() in my browser?

Yes. Open SimLab at simulations4all.com/simlab, write or paste code that calls azimuth(), and run it. Execution happens locally in your browser — no data leaves your machine.
