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.

Hi don1reed!

If i have understand good, following your formula, i should have to go in a course of 3,2 degrees for around 10,12 NM if i have to reach, let say. a randevous on this latitude and longitude, right?
I hope.. i was not so good with these things in school...

Thanks for the advice!!

Cheers back!!
