    Re: Gnomonic North Atlantic
    From: Peter Hakel

    The recently posted gnomonic charts of North Atlantic Ocean provided me with an excuse to do a fun demo/exercise. I drew a line between Cape Canaveral (28° 28’ N, 80° 32’ W) and Cape St.Vincent (37° 01.5’ N, 9° 00’ W). I then calculated selected points along the great circle that can be easily viewed on the chart:

    75° W, 31° N
    63° W, 35° N
    55° W, 37° N
    50° W, 38° N
    40° W, 39° N
    32° W, 39° 20’ N (great-circle vertex: maximum latitude)
    25° W, 39° N
    15° W, 38° N
     9° W, 37° N (destination)
