The program allows the user to customize all navigation data; 60 waypoints (great circle navigation) and 60 rhumb lines can be managed. Instructions are included in the file. Sheet "Chart1" shows a diagram with the location of some parameters: great circle navigation, rhumb lines, courses, waypoints:

A rhumb line makes the same angle with all meridians it crosses and appears as a straight line on a Mercator chart. The principal advantage of a rhumb line is that it maintains
Calculating the distance between two points along a rhumb line. In the next diagram, A, B, C, D and Z are meridians of longitude; the lines aB, bC, and cD are different parallels of latitude; and the line ABCDZ is a rhumb line.
The formulas for determining a ship’s dead-reckoned position, given an initial known location, the vessel’s course and speed, and the time elapsed, are referred to as the sailing formulas. These...
rhumb line between two places does not change its true course. A rhumb line makes the same angle with all meridians it crosses and appears as a straight line on a Mercator chart. For any other case, the difference between the rhumb line and the great circle connecting two points increases (1) as the latitude increases, (2) as the difference
Calculation of a distance on loxodrome (rhumb line) and course angle (azimuth) between two points with a given geographical coordinates.
Rhumb line, Great circle calculations. Choose your calculation: 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 .
