Either way, measure the vector between the start point and the end point. You can get the angles from this vector with pythagorian theorm used a few times. If you have coordinates, no measurement is required, just calculations.
i think he is looking for y position - he has starting point, path traveled (along surface of sphere), distance traveled, wants ending point
