Hello,
I need a little help from my friends!, to translate the variables used for the different types of courses (the tab CTS in the program).

I have nearly ended a new release of the "Magnetic compass" program. I hope to make it available next week.

Leeway angle |
Wind |
Abatimiento |

|
CMG |
|
Rs = Rv + ab |
|
COG |
Course Over ground |
Rf = Rv + ab + der |
|
C |
|
Rumbo cuadrantal |
|
Cn |
|
Rumbo circular |
|
CC |
Compass course |
Ra |
|
Dev |
Deviation |
Desvío |
|
MC = CC + dev |
Magnetic course |
Rm = Ra + desvio |
|
Var |
Variation |
Dm |
|
Ct = dev + var |
total correction |
Ct = desvio + dm |
|
TC = MC + var |
True course |
Rv = Rm + dm = Ra + ct |
|
Variation |

|
Curva de desvío |

CTS |
Course To Steer |

For COG, I am not talking about the vector solution with drift and set
