Yes, I noticed this. Mathematically I am not quite sure what
significance there is in the final course. The last line of output
from my program is when you have arrived at your destination. The
course at that point is rather pointless: where would it be headed to?
You are at your destination.

A simple fix is simply not to print out the course when you have
arrived at the final destination, but of course that just throws the
problem out. I'll have to give it some more thought.
