Celestial Navigator vs Nautical Calculator

Celestial Navigation Calculator with - perpetual Almanac - star finder chart with animation. Use phone sensor for altitude. - calculation of lines of position ( intercept/delta ) - celestial object data - meridian passage calculation - running fix support - astronomical position calculations with two or more altitude observations - Hipparchus 150 star catalog - World chart with lines and position Program can be set to use device's sensors (gyro, compass) to position the star finder chart in real time. Capture celestial object approximate altitude. Correct Altitude with a Marine Sextant reading (not included). You still need a marine sextant to do celestial navigation, but the phone sensors may be used for training. Software for iPhone and iPad, with the same features. e-book with manual and celestial navigation tutorial.

Nautical Calculator is an easy to use app to help solve the equations and conversions typically associated with marine navigation and includes celestial calculators, conversions calculators, distance calculators, logarithm and trigonometry calculators, and sailings calculators. This app is the finest nautical calculator you will find for the Apple iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch and includes the computations, tables, and full text of the "The American Practical Navigator" by Nathaniel Bowditch. With more than 35 nautical calculations, unit conversions and reference material, we are sure you will find this app convenient in solving the planning and navigating problems associated with marine navigation.
