GPS Conversion for Navigators

This document contains information about calculating distances between waypoints using latitude and longitude coordinates. It provides the formulas for great circle distance and bearing between two points on Earth based on their latitudes and longitudes in radians. The document also includes a table that lists various waypoints with their coordinates and the calculated distances, bearings, and cumulative distances between them.

Notes:
1. The distance between two waypoints is calculated using the
2. Distance = acos(sin(lat1)*sin(lat2)+cos(lat1)*cos(lat2)*cos(lo
where all lat and longs are expressed in radians
3. 1 Nautical mile = 1.852 km (for sea and air navigation)
4. Angle (in degrees) from Waypoint 1 to Waypoint 2 measured
5. Angle between two waypoints = mod(atan2(sin(lon1-lon2)*co
sin(lat1)*cos(lat2)*cos(lon1-lon2)), 2*pi)
where all lat and longs are expressed in radians
