Celestial Navigation 360

Offline position fix via the sun, moon, stars and planets

Each measurement taken with a sextant (a 'sight') converts to a line of position (LoP) on a chart, the intersections of two or more such lines providing a position fix.

Use this app to plan/enter sights and graphically inspect the resulting LoPs
