.SH NAME
gcb \- calculate bearing and range to a location
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B gcb units station1 station2
.SH DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the
.B gcb
command.
This manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution
because the original program does not have a manual page.
.PP
.B Gcb
computes Great Circle Bearing and Range
given the latitude and longitude (degrees and minutes).
You must input the lat/long of the two stations.
The output will then be relative from station1 to station2.
Input the two station lat/longs using the following format:
ddd.mmHddd.mmG, lead/lagging zeros can be left out.
d = Degrees, m = Minutes, H = Hemisphere (N or S),
G = Greenwich (W or E)
Units is 'n' for Nautical, 'k' for kilometers, and 's' for
Statute.
