Someone has done it already. Found this on ZDnet's software site. The info I
cut and pasted below. Haven't had a chance to look it over and see what it
does/doesn't do. Few weeks back I was swinging through a web site that had a
_bunch_! of palm pilot programs that had to do with C nav.. Now that I want
to download and test them I cant find the ^*)^%&*^ website. I even looked in
my history folder (not a pretty site:-) There where some (a lot) of programs
that let you program your palm like it was an RPC <sp?> calc.
Hope this helps.  Oh BTW the name of the program is Pilnavig it comes as a
zipped file all of 61K.

PS Im all for doing it the easy way although I still want to be able to do
it the long (paper,pencil and tables) way.
****Start Paste******
The program consists of three modules, and offers sailing navigation help
that includes calculation of currents, winds, Great-Circles, Mid-Lat
sailing's, time/degree conversions, and general sight reductions. You can
perform complete sun sight reductions without an almanac.
