Going on poor old memory-Institute of Navigation article four or five years ago gave rework of Joshua Slocum's calculation about a century ago and the report of the symposium "The Quest for Longitude" (I believe by Derek Howse) gives facsimilie of a set of calculations. I am about 1950nm away from refs. so please forgive E&OE. Ed Falkwrote: Can anyone provide a reference to the "classic" method? -ed falk --------------------------------- Do You Yahoo!?
