Mercator Sailing. Origin (Initial Position) Latitude: degrees minutes. Longitude: degrees minutes. Destination (Final Position) Latitude: degrees minutes.
Mercator Sailing. The plain triangle on the right indicates the plot of a Rhumb Line track on a Mercator chart between two points (A and C). By applying simple trigonometry principles the course and distance between the two positions can be determined. The formulae for determining the values are :-
10 wrz 2016 · Where the distance exceeds 600 M, it is generally recommended to use Mercator sailing so that results are more accurate results obtained. To get DMP, apply same rule as for D’Lat i.e, same names subtract, different names add. To get distance, use plane sailing formula.
Mercator Sailing Mercator Sailing is another method of Rhumb Line Sailing. It is used to find the course and distance between two positions that are in different latitudes from the large D. Lat. and distance. It is similar to plane sailing, except that plane sailing is used for small distances.
With this table, the Mercator sailing was developed and it provides a mathematical solution of the plot as made on a Mercator chart by using difference in meridional parts and longitude differences.
15 paź 2020 · With the Mercator sailing method, the course is determined first by the use of the first formula. The answer will be an azimuth and must be converted to a true course. See the instructions contained in the section on plane sailing.
Mercator Sailing. This screen calculates course and distance as well as Meridional Parts, used in the construction of Mercator charts and Mercator navigational sailing for each minute of latitude from the equator to the poles.
