When you say, "do plot lines for a ship's nav path", I presume that
you are referring to plotting on a chart. If your charts are
sufficiently imprecise that spherical projections are usable,
I've got a little library in pure Tcl that forward- and reverse-
projects map co-ordinates to most of the popular projections.
I've been meaning to put it up for public use; shoot me an email
and I'll try to move it up on my priority stack. If you need
ellipsoidal projections, I'm afraid that I haven't implemented
those. (What do you mean, the Earth isn't a sphere?)


Please announce it when you release it. I don't need it now but it could be useful if a project goes in a possible direction.
