This has probably been discussed here before, but hopefully someone will
help me out. I'm trying to find the formula for caculating your DR after
traveling from a know position.
For instance:
Last Fix
40 deg 07 min N
44 deg 37 min W
Course 090
distance traveled 56.88 Nm
New DR?
It would be a big help to me if someone that knows the formula could
incorparate the above example so I could follow along.
Thank you,
Guy
