ok Don, lets follow your example then. why are we obtaining such differences with sunsets?

Im using starry night pro, set it to gmt-10.5 hours (as I think it should be for west time at that grid, correct me if Im wrong), and I get sunset at 17:42 247° true. (btw, does "true" sunset occur when the sun is 1° lower than horizon? because thats what this program displays).

I checked this at the US naval observatory and I get the same time & degree.

mav charts are wrong then? crap, nice headache I got...

Edited: I posted this before reading minimax post. Im not using fft mod, minimax are you talking about the career fix so you don´t get retired if your sub gets discharged? btw, Pearl is not at that grid, you should start at 157°59w 21°14n (outside the port, I mean)
