  2. ok, what you need is a serious navigator like the one i had on my americanas-indian voyage via the cape of good hope

  3. like theres this website! Google it!

  4. Use a ruler.

  5. Go to google.com.

    Click on the link that says maps.

    Then in the two boxes on the left put in a from location and a destination.

    It'll give you time, distance and directions. But that's using roads.

    It also has a ruler at the bottom of the map though if you want to measure out the direct distance.

  6. If it is required to find the arc distance (d) , given

    a = latitude of pointA (negative if it is in Southern Hemisphere)

    b = latitude of pointB (negative if it is in Southern Hemisphere) &

    z = difference between their longitudes (you should know how to find it)

    cos d = sin a *sin b + cos a *cos b *cos z.

    d in degrees when multiplied with 60 gives distanec is nautical miles, with 69 gives in statute miles and with 111 gives in kilometers, along the shortest (great circle arc) route.
