I just tried to lead them to find out, that lat/long is definitely nothing hard to learn and more effective way to get this infos.  |
i can explain how to find the approximate convoy / ship heading from a bdu message.
Example:
Convoy report at 49.43N, 12.49W heading NNE speed medium
49.43 degree is from the equator 49 degree to north with tdw's ui u can see map coordinators on the left and right side of the map....for the 43 min use my chart for that.
12.49 is also simple u need to go to west 12 degree from GMT which one is 0 degree and the 49 also u my chart for that.
Now for the course.
N = 349 - 11
NNE = 11 - 34
NE = 34 - 56
ENE = 68 - 79
E = 79 - 101
ESE = 101 - 124
SE = 124 - 146
SSE = 149 - 169
S = 169 - 191
SSW = 191 - 214
SW = 214 - 236
WSW = 236 - 259
W = 259 - 281
WNW = 281 - 304
NW = 304 - 326
NNW = 236 - 349
so the convoy heading is NNE which one mean is between 11 - 34 degrees
