Abstract

I was amused by the Cross Track Distance at Mid-Longitude problem posed by Paul Hickley in The Journal of Navigation57, 320. Thinking about it, I came up with a solution. My method gives an astonishingly accurate, though approximate, answer which is found without any appeal to any formula of spherical trigonometry.
