After reading many posts on this, I decided to create a scoring system that would incorporate both distance and polar path. To do this, I simply used Excel with the data from the CTY.DAT file to get
Nice work Pat. I spun it up with my lat/long. It "feels" right to me as I scroll through the entities and guage the relative level of difficulty. Seems pretty simple to me. The only change I would ma
Nice work, but I don't believe you can capture relative polar path differences by using just the maximum latitude of the path. It's more complicated than that. There can be dramatic differences in re
Pat, To simplify the scoring process, you may want to create a table that shows the points between any two ITU zones, perhaps round up to the next 0.5 point. It may be easier to implement in the majo
Thanks to all who replied regarding my spreadsheet to test Distance + Path based scoring options. There appears to be some interest in a method like this. I've made several changes to it. http://www.
