Navigation Calculator 0.0.70

This application serves as a comprehensive tool for chart work, encompassing basic chart plotting, rhumb line calculations, and great circle calculations. Whether you are a student, educator, or professional navigator, the utility of this app is evident. The detailed help pages provide clear instructions on the required data inputs and expected results.

All computations are swiftly processed, offering a step-by-step breakdown of the results which is ideal for verifying manual calculations. The graphical representation offers a visual overview of courses, speeds, distances, and positions. Calculations can be performed on various projections including Plane, Mercator, or WGS84 (utilized in ECDIS systems). For further insights into projections, the theory section delves deeper into the topic.

The chart plotting functionality addresses fundamental problems like course to steer and course over the ground while incorporating related concepts such as set and rate of tidal stream, interception course, and wheel over point. Each calculation is accompanied by a graphical display and further explanations available in the theory segment.

The rhumb line calculator facilitates the determination of course and distance between departure and arrival positions or estimates positions based on given data. A visual representation adds value to this feature.

The great circle calculator swiftly calculates distance, initial course, final course between two positions, along with additional analysis options such as cross-track analysis, safe latitude assessment, and waypoint calculation along the great circle route. The details of the calculations showcase various methods like ABC tables, Haversine, and Napier for concise understanding.

Lastly, the ETA calculator computes the expected date and local time of arrival considering voyage details like speed and distance.

The theory section is an informative reference source covering nautical charts and basic chart plotting principles while touching upon SOLAS and IMO regulations.

It is envisioned that this application contributes positively to your daily tasks and operational efficiency.
