Anders,
You can find an on-line calculator for Great Circle
Sailing, including waypoints, at the following address:
http://164.214.12.145/calc/
which is accessible from
http://pollux.nss.nima.mil/index/index.html
This page is furnished by NIMA, the U.S. government's
National Imagery and Mapping Agency.
Dutton's Navigation and Piloting (14th ed) gives formulas for
a different solution to the waypoint problem.
