    Original Message: Sure I remember it , but can you still box it? Clyde

    If you mean: 400/000 = N , 050 = NE , 100 = E , 150 = SE , 200 = S ,
                  250 = SW , 300 = W 350 = NW ?
    That I can do; can I convert back & forth between 400 & 360 ? Not without
    a doing some mult/div (on paper - not in my head) and that was the problem
    at the time too; if you were told to "Fly 350 deg LOCARS" and you had a
    regular compass you had to stop & convert.
