Dave,
Here are the coordinates;
Departure point- N 39d 58min W 075d 12.2min
Destination point- N 41d 43.5min W 075d 02.5min
The formula i use was mentioned previously and found in Bowditch page 332.
The problem could very well be my calculator. It probably has some sort of setting that messing things up.
Sam L.
