Vector and Range Display for use in projecting waypoints
« on: December 04, 2009, 07:03:59 PM »
It would be nice if you could create a vector from your current location on the map. This would make it easier to project a waypoint using triangulation. For example enter a bearing from your current location to a landmark and create the vector. Then move to a new location and repeat the process. The intersection of the two vectors would be a good approximation of the landmarks location. A waypoint could then be created at that location.

An addition to this tool that would be nice is concentric user defined incremental range circles centered on a location. This would also make waypoint projections easier.

It would also be nice if you could enter your magnetic bearing instead of the true north bearing when putting in the info for your waypoint projections. (Another reason to have a built in declination calculator).  : )
