Navigation question (Projecting a waypoint w/GPS)

I think this issue that has your point not ending up at the same north
position could be resolved by plotting a waypoint at the same latitude but
however far out you want it.
Then plot locations to reach that point on the line to the waypoint.
I'd bet you found that it worked slowly north to a point, then curved back
south, to the waypoint. The further north you do this exercise, the more
deviation from the starting and ending latitudes you'll find.
My two cents, anyway :{))

Great circle and all that good stuff.. But, these Rubes just won't listen to
reason. No, I guess that's too much to expect.
