Norie's Nautical Tables

Since J W Norie published the first edition of his Complete Set of Nautical Tables and Epitome of Practical Navigation in 1803, many changes to the tables have been necessary in both content and presentation. New tables have been included, obsolete ones deleted to conform with changing techniques of navigation, with the aim of improving the accuracy of the calculated position and reducing the tedium of the calculation.
Since the commissioning of the Global Positioning System (GPS), its proven accuracy and reliability in all weather conditions have resulted in confidence and almost unquestioning dependence on its ability to provide a vessel's position, course and speed. Because of this, its use is widespread and some seafarers feel that the traditional navigational methods are obsolete. One might ask why ships should still be required to carry navigation equipment and publications.
Unfortunately the marine environment of heavy vibration, stormy seas, salt-laden spray and wide temperature variations can easily damage electronic equipment. Such failure, or the failure of one or more satellites, or interference to GPS frequencies, all should ensure that no prudent seafarer would proceed on an ocean passage without a reliable navigational back-up.
All the tables required for coastal and deep sea navigation are included
A simple uniform method of interpolation for all the trigonometrical tables is usedСCertain tables and data are also included which are not readily available on board Сship or are only used in the examination room.
