So in reading charts is the opposite way to reading an OS map (along the corridore and up the stairs) ie would be long the lat no for a grid reference

I am about to do my day skipper course and what I would find helpful is a priority list of what calcs need to be done in the correct order so as not to forget anything?

Perhaps add that longitudinal minutes of arc are nautical miles only at the equator, and that they get smaller as you move closer to the poles, because the circles around the planet become smaller. (Genuine question: Do we take into account that the Earth is better approximated by an ellipsoid than by a perfect sphere, because of its rotation, or is that effect too insignificant?)

very nice but the bleeps in the background is annoying
