Year: 1989 Language: english Author: M. J. Harris Genre: Guide Publisher: Adlard Coles Edition: September, 1989 ISBN: 978-0229118465 Format: PDF Quality: Scanned pages Pages count: 115 Description: The aim of this volume is to provide ocean-going sailors with a speedy and efficient method of fixing their position at sea using pocket computers. Assuming no prior knowledge of either computers or astro navigation, the author uses fundamental BASIC commands common to all pocket computers. He explains how to adjust the programs for additional use on personal computers in the home, and how to adapt the programs for pocket calculators in the event of loss of compass or sextant at sea. Traditional astro navigation methods rely on the use of lengthy sight reduction tables to calculate position. Astro Navigation by Pocket Computer brings this subject right into the 1990s, enabling the ocean navigator - and, indeed, any crew member-to fix their position in a speedy and effective manner independent of these volumes. Astro Navigation by Pocket Computer provides a fast, self-reliant, method of calculation requiring no drain on the boat’s electrical supply. All the programs have been tested over many ocean passages.
