    Re: Plotting vs calculating Position

    >>Gary LaPook has posted extensively about this, a common technique for air navigation. MOO tables are in the inside covers of HO249 vols 1, 2 and 3 as well as a yellow supplement card.  He has also posted tables with speed ranges more suitable for yachtsman. <<

    I have two questions.

    1.  Where should I look for Gary's posted tables with speed ranges suitable for yachtsmen?

    2.  How might I use the archive query to look for things like this myself? 

    Regarding question #2, I tried doing a search for "Motion of Observer" from year 2005 to the present, and got zero results.  I then did a search for "MOO" and got endless returns which included the word "Moon".  Doing a search for "LaPook" gets you a huge number of returns.  Is there a more efficient way to search for something like this?

    Thanks,

    Bob Goethe
