I found the NIMA website very interesting. The thing is: they have made the whole great circle program in client-side java-script and commented the code very well. This means that you can: - make your own program using their algorythms - save the webpage and use it stand alone on your on-board computer without the need for an internet connection Cheers, Axel -----Oorspronkelijk bericht----- Van: Vic Fraenckel [mailto:vfraenc1@NYCAP.RR.COM] Verzonden: wo 20-3-2002 11:34 Aan: NAVIGATION-L@LISTSERV.WEBKAHUNA.COM CC: Onderwerp: Value of On-line Nav calculations Of what use are on-line navigation calculators for if you are at sea and wish to do 'real' navigation? Thy are great for practice, i suppose, but not may of us have i-net connections while at sea.
