Thanks. This site appears very good from short range to whole World. The photography looks older than most sites, but it’ll do. One degree in azimuth should be enough for what I had in mind, but at longer ranges you could conceivably move the cursor around to note the changeover points from one degree azimuth to the next. Then assuming the changeover occurred at 0.5, you might be able to calculate azimuth down to 0.1 degree. However, if someone were going to go to that trouble, they might as well pin the points on Google Maps or Earth and use spherical trig. DaveP
