Interesting discussion guys. All my referances say (or indicate) that you plot your DR until there is a FIX. Then the DR is continued from that FIX. The "distance log" is not zeroed out, but continued. The distance reading at the time of the FIX is recorded with the FIX plot. Since the Log is reading distance through the water, DR is going to be *someplace around here*. My log rolls over to zero after 999.99. Considering we are using a plotting sheet for a graphical reference what sort of accuracy are we expecting? Dan Hogan WA6PBY dhhogan@XXX.XXX http://nav.cnchost.com Catalina 27 "GACHA"
