I am still working on the program to determine circle movements, but
am facing a problem.

Some of the distances shown within the circle just do not conform to
established norms of navigation, especially longitudinal corrections
which must be applied as a function of latitude. ( distances between
degrees of longitude become progressively less as latitude moves
toward the North or South poles, obvious when you consider that at
Latitude 90 degrees N, all lines of longitude converge to a single
point.

Does anyone know where the image of the map came from, what type of
map it was, and the scale?
