[rec.boats] navigation program

carltons@girtab.usc.edu (12/02/90)

I am currently looking for any info necessary to do celestial navigation.

I'd like to implement a basic version of such a program on a calculatior.
Can I use a highly programable calculator like the HP41CV to replace
the big almanacs ( assuming I limit my sightings to the sun, moon, the
visible planets and stars )?

But I would also be interested in any algorithims or shareware for IBM PCs.
