Creating a Waypoint Route | |
This video shows how to create a route based on a series of waypoints. I made another typo in entering one of the waypoints in this route. See if you can catch the error. I have added validation code in version 9.95c, which should prevent this kind of typo from getting into the route. | |
Creating a Great Circle Route | |
The program can also be used to create a Great Circle route as demonstrated in the next video. The route generated is actually a psuedo Great Circle as it is made up of a number of rhumb line segments between waypoints. | |
Exporting a Route | |
The next video demonstrates the exporting of a route from OffShoreNavigationVBA into a file that can be imported by another program or a chart plotter. | |
Importing a Route | |
The program can also import a route from a file created by another program or chart plotter | |
