    I had forgotten just how convenient those tables are for computing rhumb line courses and distances. The "conversion angle" tables here are the only ones I know of that publish the conversion angles for courses (or radio bearings) that cross the equator.

    Also see prior posts and attachments that make it easy to see the difference between the GC and RL courses:(I had forgotten that I had posted these tables.)
