    1. Enter datas only in cell with Blue color.
    2. When entering data; e.g.
    O
    Latitude : 42 34.5' N as 42.345
    O
    Longitude: 120 22.8'E as 120.228

    : if South Latitude then, -42.34.5


    : if West Longitude then, -120.228

    3. To calculate Latitude Points, Course and Distance between Vertices:


    In column Longitude with Blue color, enter your Desired Longitude to calculate
    automatically your Latitude Points, Course and Distance between vertices.
    4. To read Latitude Points:
    e.g. Latitude 42.0296 as 42O 02.96' N

    : if Latitude is -42.0296 then it reads as 42O 02.96' S

    Note: No printing in GC program.

    Rhumbline Calculation:
    1. To enter Latitude and Longitude, same as no. (2) above.
    2. Course, Distance and Distance To Go are automatically calculated.
