Guys: My navigation learning has been via a tutoring with 211 by a WWII Merchant Marine, captain, and an ex-German WWII U-boat captain using a DR plot method, and by books. Why would anyone want to use the assumed position method, other than the inspection tables being used require their use? It adds extra complication in the calculations. 211 drove me nuts, I was prone to making mistakes with it. I like the DR plot because if you get an overly large Dist. OFF you know something i going off with the plot/calculations.
