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.
