Headings and distances
In this chapter you will learn how to calculate headings and distances. You
will put into practice the navigation rule and the compass which you use
traditionally on a paper chart.
However, you will discover that MaxSea offers you functions which are simple
and yet much more powerful than the traditional navigation tools.
These functions can be used to plan your route
Caution! A route plan created in this manner must not be confused with the active
course presently followed by the ship; this will be studied in the following
chapter The course .
You will use the Navigation tool
to access these functions. Select this tool by clicking the icon in the Tools
palette.
