&gt; &gt; now can you or anyone possibly also steer me to the precise<br/>

&gt; trigonometric <br/>
<br/>
&gt; &gt; understanding necessary for completing the degminsec geocoords of<br/>
<br/>
&gt; the target <br/>
<br/>
&gt; &gt; tripoint <br/>
<br/>
&gt; Is it just due west from your starting coords? I could do you that on<br/>
<br/>
&gt; a spherical earth, but I think it would be a tad less accurate than<br/>
<br/>
&gt; to-the-millimetre.<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
 </span></blockquote>grant thats ok  i would love to try it twice anyway  but then what would be the basis of my more accurate second try  <br/>

& yes  waorus is by tripartite agreement exactly 1 marine league due west of wlong 124d 05m 00s 00000  presumably nad83  while that detail also remains to be confirmed<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
but heck fire away if you can since you will be the state of the art whatever you do<br/>
