If given lat and long for P1 and P2, solve or convert for l
and final latitude in degrees and tenths, and solve for DLo in minutes, then enter into the equation
p=DLo cos L2 to solve for p. Then solve for C using the equation tan
C= p/l, after converting l to nm, to find C. Next, to find the distance traveled,
plug what you know into the equation sin C = p/D to solve for the distance traveled in nautical miles.
