Re: hello, I'd like to write a program for my work.
It appears to be quite similar to the plotting we used to do in the olden days when I was a swabbie.
Since you have no radar, where are you getting the fixes which yield a track? How accurate and timely are they? I presume you're not on a moving platform, but wind could be a factor if the relative speeds are low.
Depending on the distances involved, you might be in a solid geometry situation, rather than a plane geometry situation. Figure all that out and apply your trig and you should have an interesting time.
I once made a dead-reckoning system for light aircraft. It was fun, but of course there was no market, since DME was being rapidly added to VORs (no GPS at that time, though).
Again, have fun, and don't hesitate to post your progress, or ask for help.
