Great stuff Les...getting ready to get into celestial navigation and these will good for placing fixes accurately as well. Here are the first two victims, plotted
and hunted down with the new plotting tool.

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.
