Actually, the engines ping satellites, the investigators did have this data. So yes, they did know where the airplane was headed. The Airplane was going south towards the North Pole off the west coast of Australia (general region) which is where they focused the search zone. The problem is, that area has some of the deepest points in the ocean, and extremely hostile conditions. Also its in the middle of the sea. So the airplane is likely on the bottom of the sea somewhere between Australia and Maldives.
This. Once it leaked that the satellites were paying in a different location, serious questions were raised about why the Malaysian government was coordinating the search in a different location. Those questions were never formally answered
