Note: the above UI will not be the final version.. its just the previous version hacked to work with 2 groups of bearings.
I too think the results (target course and speed) in the pdf are a bit wrong in that chart. I get a target speed and course when drawing by hand (177-ish) that is much closer to 180 degrees like your tool. My drawing shows a speed of 10.5 kts. But the method itself works.
