  • Automated Sight Reduction: Calculates Intercept and Azimuth based on observed altitude and time, simplifying the navigational process.
  • Data Management: Enables users to save observations by passages and share them via email in CSV format.
  • Position Fixing: Utilizes two sights to determine latitude and longitude accurately.
  • Meridian Passage Support: Assists in taking essential observations to determine position.
