Sailing is a method of solving the various problems involving course, distance, difference of latitude, difference of longitude, and departure.
The app plots on a Google map the route between a departure and a destination point, using the following sailings: - Rhumb line (loxodromic). - Great Circle (orthodromic).
And calculates: - Course & distance. - Waypoints of the great circle route. - Save between Rhumb line and Great Circle route. - Nodes and vertices of the Great Circle.
It also plots the entire Great Circle.
OPERATION
1 - Long click 1: adds the departure point
2 - Long click 2: adds the destination point and plots RL & GC
3 - Tap the Mark to see the information
4- [Output] - GC course C and distance D - Save between RL & GC - Waypoints of the GC route - Vertices and nodes of the GC
