Can someone point me to spherical trig (great circle sailing) formulas for determining destination Lat & Lon, if given departure Lat & Lon, true course, and distance travelled? I have made stabs at trying to flip around the cel nav Hc and Zn formulas into what I'm looking for, but must admit the weakness of my math skills. I can't figure out how to get Lat & Lon out of it without already knowing one or the other. Thanks, -Jeff __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail - now with 250MB free storage.
