same same if you expand the definition of breakfast eggs to include three

DR is speed vs time vs direction pointed, and your best guess as to where that
puts you. that's it, nothing more.

Some people believe that guessing as to current direction and strength and
guessing as to boat drift due to wind speed and direction improves their best
guess as to where they are, but it doesn't.


Oh boy here we go again.

Hey Man.... what do you mean by that statement????

Too confused to state that in Layman's terms and present a viable counter
point???

Yes that about sums your knowledge up.

so, nav, because I know that science stuff while you don't that means "that
science stuff" does not affect where *you* are when *you* are wondering around
in a fog with only a compass and speed indicator?

how sad that you think ignorance protects you.

Yes that about sums your knowledge up.

What is this extraordinary "science stuff" you know? How to ride a
bicycle perchance?
