Hewitt Schlereth, you wrote: "It would be neat if you could have a hand-held 'camera' that would take and measure and give you an Hs readout. Hell, with the technology available today it ought to be possible for the gizmo to read out an intercept and bearing." And since the camera can take video as easily as stills, it can take dozens of sights per second. Averaging these, it would have a position of fairly impressive accuracy, continously displayed. That would be fun. :-) -FER --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Navigation List archive: www.fer3.com/arc To post, email NavList@fer3.com To , email NavList-@fer3.com -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
