There are plenty of on-line calculators but find that this is much more useful:
https://goes.gsfc.nasa.gov/text/goeshori.xls
To get the true bearing enter
Code:
=180-B6
in a spare cell.
I've uploaded a copy in case it disappears.

Nice spreadsheet, though I don't understand much about vector calculations I'm afraid.

What puzzles me highly, is the radius of the Clarkebelt being 42247 in this spreadsheet.
Where does this value come from? I mostly use 42164, I believe I got that from wikipedia.
Has the radius changed somehow??????

Greetz,
