Jim- I think the 2004NA actually agrees with Henning's number, the only difference is that the 2004NA did not convert accumulated minutes into degrees, i.e.: 320d 00.0m + 0d 84.6m ========= 321d 24.6m substantially similar to 321d 25.0m I don' t know how the NA is produced by have seen calculations that similarly simply failed to do a conversion at some point, and racked up some numbers. Surely the range from 68.6-84.6 minutes isn't allowably precise for you though?
