    This document provides a tool to calculate routes for great circle sailing between two points on Earth defined by their latitude and longitude. The user enters the origin and destination positions and the tool computes the initial course, great circle distance, and any waypoints along the route defined by their latitudes and longitudes. It allows resetting the calculation or computing the full track between the origin and destination.
