Using a Garmin's Waypoint Projection feature, and projecting a
waypoint at 90 degrees, shouldn't my projected waypoint end up on the same latitude as the original? And if not, why not? For example, beginning at 30 degrees N latitude and 89 degrees W longitude, I project a new waypoint at a distance of 10 miles with a bearing of 90 degrees. As expected, my projected longitude changes to a point further east. But for some reason, the projected latitude ends up at a higher latitude than 30 degrees. In my example, the projected latitude ends up as 30 degrees, 23.866 Minutes North. I've tried using the same example on 3 different Garmins with the same result. What am I missing? |
