Dear Lars,
You say:
...for practical navigation you do not need these formulas.
I must be misunderstanding that statement. What else do we do when doing DR? I thought - we are obtaining the coordinates of a point where we would occur if we carry on for HH:MM:SS of time with V knots at DDD° course. One of possible way to know these coordinates - is using exactly those formulas.
Please comment.
Warmest regards,
Tony
