I've done that too using the midlatitude for best accuracy. We aviators use lambert conformal charts which use a conical projection and an approximately constant scale between the standard parallels of 33 and 45 degrees north. Also see the grid on the Polhemus celestial computer which was used by Air Force celestial bavigators. https://sites.google.com/site/fredienoonan/other-flight-navigation-information/in-flight-celestial-navigation

Gary,

Actualy we old navs would use dividers on the latitude scale to measure distances. Does that help?
