Sinopsis

Master reference for navigators and surveyors A compact, field-tested guide to azimuths, altitudes, and the math behind mapmaking, drawn from official tables and practical formulas.

This edition compiles essential circular functions, meridian fixes, and Polaris guidance with example calculations. It presents how to derive time, position, and direction from given data, using tables designed for real-world use in the field and in the office.


  • Clear explanations of azimuth and altitude computations for Polaris at different hour angles and latitudes

  • Step-by-step examples showing how to determine local sidereal time, longitude corrections, and meridian placements

  • Tables and constants for map projections, unit conversions, and linear expansions of metals

  • Practical tools for geodetic position calculations and magnetic declination considerations



Ideal for readers who work with surveying, navigation, or map projection, and for students needing a reliable reference on classic geodetic methods.
