for various types f navigation and what would be the appearence of great
circles, small circles and Rhumb lines.
Hello - have you checked the US Geological Survey page:
I have:
"Bulletin 1532--Map Projections Used by the U.S. Geological Survey" as
listed at the URL above. If you have specific questions about it that are not
covered in the description, feel free to ask--I will check my copy. Hope this
helps.
