EXDAC: Apologies for the incorrect terminology. My background is in marine navigation, and I think sloppiness in the correct terminology creeps in when corrections for drift are automatically compensated for by GPS. I think my main point is I can come close to Seale's calculations for most cases.
Finally, I guess to emphasize why I am using a spreadsheet rather than a Wizz Wheel. I think it's just more efficient for me to use a spreadsheet, if I am looking at multiple Flying Plans. These could amount to several thousand or more entries.
