Great Circle Waypoints
In versions dated prior to 1705 (17 May 2000), great circle waypoints were computed every 180 nmi. This was changed on May 20, 2000 so that users have the option to enter a longitude interval and StarPilot will then compute the corresponding latitudes at these longitudes that mark off the Great Circle route. This method is more convenient for plotting and more in keeping with standard Bowditch solutions.
