JetMouse,
Nav and W/V is something you need to understand and have a mental picture of whats going on....
...try drawing a picture on the map or a scrap piece of paper until you get the hang of it... draw in lines for your track and the W/V. Your heading will always fall within the smaller angle around the compass rose, ie into the wind so a track of 180, W/V 270/10kts, will give you a heading somewhere between 180 and 270.
If your heading doesn't fall into there, then back to the whizwheel
for myself it took ground school to get it into my head
keep going
