These show the centers of low and high pressure, the fronts and a series of lines of equal pressure called isobars. Unfortunately in most cases wind arrows are not shown.

Can’t figure out what winds to expect?
With EzWind it’s simple. No knowledge of meteorology required

		AISWiz (AIS graphic software) As of 2004 all ships over 300 tons must broadcast over the radio all sorts of information about them selves, using AIS short for Automatic Identification Systems. With the right type of equipment you can receive this information and display it graphically on screen. AISWiz takes GPS and AIS input, decodes the incoming AIS messages and displays all sorts of information, about ships within VHF range, on the screen. You can see a ships course, speed, range, bearing, closest point of approach, and much more. You are also provided with information like the ships name and call sign so you can call it up if need be. The display is like a radar, but as opposed to radar AISWiz is very easy to use.

Sight Reduction (Crash course in celestial navigation)

For some reason even now a days celestial navigation is still taught as it was 70 years ago, with the use of tables were numbers are found here and there, and yet again more tables within the tables.... Its like teaching trigonometry with the use of tables. These are things of the past. Most students get lost in the woods never getting a clear understanding of what celestial navigation is all about. Upon passing the required exam they soon forget how to get line of sight. I wrote Sight Reduction for one such case. (No real problem for he had 3 GPS’s on board). The aim was to explain the mechanics of a sight reduction in simple terms. See help.
