I also did this early in the year with both the Sun around LAN and Venus during Meridianal Transit while the ship was at anchor. I maxed out the software with 25 LOP's. For the Sun I had 0.3' error in Latitude and 0.7' in Longitude. For Venus it was 0.7' error in Latitude and 0.6' error in Longitude. (17 sights in 45 minutes) I am quite sure that given a given course and speed the program could easily do the running fix calculations and the error would be similar. I will have to try underway this summer. If anyone wants the data from these sites, I can post them along with the tabular solution.
