>>Even if you don't know the azimuth you have the Fourier coefficients for compass correction except the constant term. Much easier than transits and pelorus.<<
Bill, I am unfamiliar with this. I have always been into transits and peloruses. You intrigue me. Could you unpack what you are talking about here just a bit? Or if there is a discussion of this elsewhere in NavList, just mention that and I will dig a bit deeper. But sometimes searching for something - which may or may not exist - can be like trying to look up a word in the dictionary when you don't know how it is spelled.
Thanks,
Bob
