Yeah can't wait for Potus's video on real Nav and Celestial nav by an actual Navigation Officer, glad to see the plotting tool worked been trying all 3 versions and I prefer the 2nd alternative, what's your preference?

I haven't tried the third alternative one yet but I would say more than likely that the second alternative will be my preferred version.

Here is a link to a webpage that I printed out and use to get accurate conversions from the headings relayed in the radio contact message
for example South-southwest (SSW) to 202.5°, Northeast by east (NEbE) to 56.25° etc.

I decided to make this into a User Chart because it's so handy and will work well with the new plotting tools. To make room I have removed the Timepiece
Board from the plotting tools as I think Vecko has used the available slots for the Harbour charts. Link below...just extract into the MODS folder and install
anytime with JSGME if you want to take a look at it.
