Beagle,

Same method as wot I said above. I just didn't know what to call it

Ian,

I dont know why I struggle with this calculation so much - but I do.... anyone got a simpletons way of putting it?
I think of it as:

For the track error angle: Miles Off / Miles Gone * 60 or as I remeber it 60/Gone * Off. My Menomic is GoneOff

For the closing angle: Miles Off / Miles To Go * 60, or as I remeber it 60/Go * Off. My menomic is GoOff.

Correction = GoneOff+GoOff.
