At this step, you can use these almanac data with HO.249 tables, if you want to reduce manually. - reduces a sight : getting your observed altitude and the precise time, it calculate Intercept and Azimut. You don't need any calculation ! Simply report Intercept and Azimut to your navigational chart. - You can save your observations by passages and send them by email in CSV format - take a fix : with two sights, iMariner is able to calculate your position (latitude/longitude) - meridian passage : iMariner helps you to take observations mandatory to know your position (latitude/longitude) - sight preparation : iMariner proposes you the best objects, here position (azimut and elevation), and the approximate time of the day the observation can take (nautical_twilight or nautical dawn). iMariner is a standalone application.
