Please coorect me if I'm wrong but I think that in Reed's Nautical Companion -3 edition (it is what I have) in Section 3, p.133, one step of the method regarding working with UPS isn't right. Specifically, "...to draw meridians of longitude with the spacing that corresponds to this mid-latitude, start at the verical axis and count X degrees out along the circle..." I think you need to count degrees from the mid-latitude line which goes across compass rose, W-E, instead of from N-S. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Navigation List archive: www.fer3.com/arc To post, email NavList@fer3.com To , email NavList-@fer3.com -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
