Hi Stefano,

You need to click on to the SH3 Community Wiki "sticky" at the top of the forum, then click on to "Navigation".

edit: failing that, you could make your own Lat/Long plotting sheets using 10ths of inch as Lat increments for nautical miles, then simply multiply the number of minutes of Longitude by the Cos of Lat to get the number of miles and plot at the desired scale. For example, to plot your position W20° 16.5' on N40°, at a scale of 10 tenths of an inch per 10 nm, multiply 16.5 x cos 40° = 16.5 x 0.766 = 12.6 tenths of an inch.

Cheers,
