What do you think "knots" are? Hint: naut's per hour

But you are right in thinking there are no nautical mile rulers to measure with.

Yeah.. it's tragicomedy. They gave us knots without nautical miles ruler

Just thinking about all of this puts me in despair

To calculate speed, course, etc ? I always rely on Zielkurwinkel to get all the data I need. Actually I never bother getting true target course, relying on my own eyes to put my boat on interception course..

But how it is related to nautical miles anyway ?


GUYS! as I already mentioned I might sound strange tonight, cheers
But what the hell are Fridays for ?

The side I had in mind can be seen in message 39 iirc (Puster Bill's). The OLC2 Gui doesn't have it. It has logarithmic scales (yeah I know, scary magic there ) that allows you to do time/speed/distance conversions easily. Among other things.

This document is a sort of how-to:
