Rhumb line calculation: Departure position (latitude, longitude) + Course and Distance, to compute Arrival position; Departure position + Arrival position, to compute Course and Distance; Path of constant course between Departure position and Arrival position. Great Circle calculation
Short distance sailing is a term which is applied to sailing along a rhumb-line for distances less than 600 nautical miles. From the formulas derived above, the following are used extensively in short distance sailing:
Orthodromic and loxodromic navigation ( great circle sailing & rhumb line ) : courses, distances, manual and automatic waypoints, planning routes..... a full version! excel binary file ( version office 2007 )
Great Circle and Rhumb Line. GREAT CIRCLE SAILING WITH 12 INTERM. POSITIONS. IF 12 IS TOO MUCH THAN USE EVERY SECOND INTERM. POSITION, OR EVEN EVERY THIRD.
The formulas enable to solve the tasks with a use of electronic calculator and application of traditional methods on plane and sphere, and they also take the Earth’s ellipsoidal shape into consideration. Keywords: loxodrome (rhumb-line sailing), plane (or middle latitude) sailing, Mercator triangle (Mercator sailing) 1. Introduction
Proposals of algorithms for solving Navigation faculty’s problems regarding navigation along rhumb line (loxodrome), for officer trainees and civil students of Faculty of Navigation and Naval Weapons and for deck seamen on operational level, are presented in this paper.
