    George:

     

    WGS84

    a = 6378137 [m] = = 6378137/1852 [nm]

    f = 1.0/298.257223563

    The result is:

    MP( 45.000000 ) = 3019.058271357112100000

    So I ask anyone who might feel the urge to apply that equation to a trial

    latitude La of 45º, and report back his result of that exercise. As I see

    it, it should correspond to the value in Bowditch for meridional-parts 45º,

    given as 3013.6, within a few parts in a thousand. If others find that it

    does, then I'm getting something wrong, which is always possible. Otherwise,

    I'll go back to the author of the original paper.
