Default Old Style Navigation

Hi Everybody.

I was talking about this in another thread with someone about using a circular protractor to navigate. Either hold it up to your screen or print out your map. The best use for one of these is on a water map with no land marks at all. Or a snow map. Long distances can be set out while you're sitting in your aircraft at base. Jot the heading down and stick to it and I bet you'll find your way. It's easy to do I've found a great pic, that's why I put this thread up. It works Use a clear protractor as pictured.
