Well, thanks :-). It actually did have latitude/longitude on it when I
was drawing it, but I trimmed them off to fit it into 72 columns. Here
is my original version, with the numbers (you may need to turn `Wrap
Long Lines' or whatever off to see it properly):

After a quick skim of sci.geo.satellite-nav I'm not too sure whether
they'd be interested -- they seem to be mostly discussing the pros and
cons of various types of GPS receiver. But it may be useful for them and
some other sci.geo.* groups; I'll leave that up to Dale and others to
decide.

Bye for now
