The drifting is moddeled correctly and returnes me a "displacement" in meters in the north-south and east-west axis (so it'S easy to convert that to a direction and a distance). So all I need is a function that takes the current position in WGS84 and my displacement and returns me a new WGS84 position. I'm sorry, but I don't understand the input parameters of the geo_direct_wgs_84 function, so it might be that that's the right one - I just don't know.
