Good luck with the new group buddy!
Question, when you do your DTFs, do you use the .cmeye to map out your way points? I wish there was a faster way to do these.
<S>
Thanks sir! For the fields yes simply click on it and cmeye, and it will tell in the buffer where it started CM eye.
One way to not have to fly all over is to get the position of 0x0 and the distance of each grid in feet. In this map that is:
0x0 - 42300 42300 - call this O
Each grid is 1351680x1351680 feet in dimension call this DX and DY
so the 6x4 (Gx, Gy) cross is at: -
42300 + 1351680 * 6 , 42300 + 1351680 * 4 or 8152380, 5449020
x = O + DX * Gx and y = O + DY * Gy
To convert a full grid reference e.g. 6,4,9,1 6 use the values between Gx.00 and Gx.99 and Gy.00 and Gy.99 accordingly.. See diagram for
a reference.. So by this I'd use 6.88, 4.77 as values for Gx and Gy respectively.
