I can put a compass rose anywhere you like on any terrain map directly on the DDS.

Dawger,

Can you teach me how to do it? I would like to put one over the target if possible.

Thanks!

Phenix am I getting close. The coords were for F199 in Sicily. I am using this as a test target. I know I am using DAR of 20 miles, but this is so I can figure this stuff out.

.mapcircle 113388 761254 105600
.mapline 113388 761254-(2*105600) 113388 761254+(2*105600)
.mapline 113388-(2*105600) 761254 113388+(2*105600) 761254
.mapline 113388-105600 761254-105600 113388+105600 761254+105600
.mapline 113388+105600 761254-105600 113388-105600 761254+105600

Thanks!

DrDart, Very cool compass!

you just have to finish out the math. This DTF rose will be very much less in quality than what you can do on a DDS file directly. :)

.mapline 113388 550054 113388 972454

The bell just went ding ding ding!

Now I understand what you are doing... :-)

One last question is how to I calculate for every 5 or 10 degrees?

Ya, wish I could modify the DDS, but still not sure how and which overlay compass works. I likes Dawgers but not sure where to get that one.

Thanks!

Paint.net is free software that you can open the DDS in, add layer upon layer of information and flatten it all when you save it back to a DDS.

If you are interested just email me at dawger at comcast dot net and i will send the generic compass roses I have for you to play with.
