Andrew Sarangan wrote So, I still don't agree that navigation systems have advanced to the point where we can abandon the magnetic based instruments. Hmmmm....I wonder how we used to navigate 'over-the-pole' back before INS? Hint....Grid Navigation, an unslaved DG referenced to true north. I don't claim to know anything about navigation over the poles, but if it is as simple as you say it is, why do we continue using the magnetic compass for every-day navigation? My guess is that it must be complex, difficult, expensive or unreliable. |
