[QUOTE=blackmail;3018507]hello founder,

route(loxodrome route= following a parallel or flying a constant latitude), remember the acronym:" P O L E "


Great job, blackmail, but I have to point something that, I believe, have slipt on the keyboard as your writing went too enthusiastic:

The loxodrome is the route that crosses all meridians at an equal angle; the parallell and the equator are particular loxodromes as they cross all meridians at an angle of 90°; out of those 90°, the curve on the sphere will be a loxodroïd, closing to the pole without ever reaching it.

Just for the sake of rookies who might flunk the question at a nav exam.
