Yes George, that is what he did, he used the declination for noon at Greenwich instead of at his time of LAN, about 1700 GMT. I have attached the applicable page from the Air Almanac. Unfortunately, using the correct declination moves his sun line 0.6 NM further away from his GPS position. But he still got good results for his second try. gl --- On Thu, 12/30/10, George Huxtable <george@hux.me.uk> wrote:
