Put your pointer (which has changed to a square with cross hairs) on your starting location and click. Move your pointer to the destination and click again. The dialogue box will show the distance and heading. Cheers, John KD5YI Works perfectly. Aiming 34.4 degrees for London, 34.35 for Birmingham.g Thanks. "Sal" PS: Merry Christmas& Happy Hanukkah to all. Hmmmm. I got to thinking about your two bearings. The bearing from Birmingham to London is 44.54 degrees. I don't see how it is possible to get those two values from a fixed location. What have you done wrong or what have I done wrong? John Ah! Now I see! I mistakenly assumed Birmingham, Alabama. My face is red for not noticing theg. Good one! Cheers, John No harm, no foul. (nice chuckle this QTH, though.) "Sal" (KD6VKW) Ha! I don't mind a laugh at my expense for a good, clean one like that. Cheers, John (KD5YI) |
