How do I get the InputField to coordinate with the LocatorPane so that a change in each control changes the other to be in agreement? It would be nice if the function was self-contained and was dynamically linked to a second similar control where the variable is radians. The angle control is based on this (see Applications). Related links do not address or solve this particular issue; links such as this this, and this



 fDeg[Dynamic[angleDeg_]] :=   
DynamicModule[{p, angleRad, angleCalc, dtr = Degree},

angleCalc[newp_,
oldp_] := (angleRad =
angleRad + ArcCos[newp.oldp] Sign[Cross[newp].(newp - oldp)];
If[0 < angleRad, angleRad = Mod[angleRad, +2*Pi]];
If[0 > angleRad, angleRad = Mod[angleRad, -2*Pi]];
angleDeg = angleRad/dtr;
f[angleDeg];
p = {Cos[angleRad], Sin[angleRad]});

angleRad = angleDeg*dtr;
p = {Cos[angleRad], Sin[angleRad]};

          Consider the following refactoring of your code



          First, the locator pane is used to set a point location constrained on a circle with unit radius (this part borrowed heavily from an example in the documentation for LocatorPane). A degree value is then calculated from the coordinates of tha tpoint.



          Secondly, the input field is used to read in a degree value, which is then used to update the position of the dynamic point pt using the second argument of Dynamic.



          DynamicModule[
          {pt = {0, 1.}},
          Column[{
          "Degrees:", Dynamic[(ArcTan @@ pt)/Degree],
          LocatorPane[
          Dynamic[pt],
          Graphics[{
          Circle[],
          PointSize[Large],
          Dynamic[Arrow[{{0, 0}, pt/Norm[pt]}]]
          }],
          Appearance -> None
          ],
          InputField[
          Dynamic[(ArcTan @@ pt)/Degree, (pt = N@{Cos[#1 Degree], Sin[#1 Degree]}) &],
          FieldSize -> Tiny
          ]
          }, Alignment -> Center
          ]
          ]


          This keeps both fields in sync with each other:
