To make plotting a course easier, in this 14 minute instructional video, a commentator, with the use of graphics, gives a simple, but thorough overview of basic navigation. Once again, to simplify plotting a course, the presentation covers the areas of the Magnetic Compass, the Nautical Chart, Variation and Deviation (using the TVMDC correction formula) and the conditions of Set and Drift. Included in the video is a demonstration of the Course Conversion Calculator. This gives a clearer understanding of plotting a course. This video is a valuable learning tool in plotting a course for any boater and is particularly useful as a teaching aid for instructors who teach Coastal Navigation which involves plotting a course, at any level, whether it be in a Basic Boating Course which touches upon basic navigation, or in any Advanced Navigation Course. Plotting a course is most essential when going from point A to point B. The DVD video is included with the calculator. Click here for a Video Demonstration of the Calculator.
