1:60 rule

Hi ppruners,

Does anyone have any easy methods/techniques for the 1:60 rule? Even now i'm still struggling to get my head around it. I understand about using 'fan-lines' to determine how far you are off track, and to get back on track you have to double your 'off-track' angle. But I know that this depends upon how far you are along the 60 mile section. An instructor siad that if you're a quarter of the way along your route you divide the correction angle by 1/4 or something like that. So far i've never needed it as so far i've never needed to use it. But should the day I need it come ...

Any help/techniques would be gratefully appreciated
